ealthcare facilities (buildings) can also be considered to be a form of technology. As with other forms of technology‚ physical facilities involve a mutual interaction between users of the technology and the technology Anderson & Wittwer‚ 2011). In healthcare contexts‚ the physical facilities are often intimately interrelated with the staff and other technology that the building contains (Munnelly & Clarke‚ 2007). Often‚ technology is integrated into the building itself. As with other forms of technology

The space shuttle Columbia broke down over the Atlantic Ocean‚ off the coast of Cape Canaveral in the attempt to put a satellite payload into orbit. All seven crew members died which included five NASA astronauts and two other payload specialists. The NASAs managers were anxious for several reasons‚ including economic‚ political pressures and schedule timings for the launch. This event also involved the competition between European space agency and the Russians. The purpose of the mission was to

“One small step for a man‚ one giant leap for mankind” These were the first words said on the moon by Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong. The Apollo program was a series of rocket launches by nasa to get us to our moon‚ starting with Apollo 1‚ and leading through to 13‚ in this essay‚ you will learn about 3 of the missions. To start‚ apollo 1 was the fateful beginning of the program. Three astronauts‚ Virgil Grissom‚ Edward white and Roger Chaffee were onboard doing a final preflight test. Under

The first major obstacle the Apollo 13 crew encounters was when Nasa was rushing the mission. The first reason this obstacle complicates the plot of the movie is that the crew was not prepared. The space crew Jack Swigert‚ Fred Haise and Jim Lovell were not prepared to go up into space and especially not Jack. Jack

They warned that the agency’s “broken safety culture” would lead to tragedy again unless fundamental changes are made. In a wide-ranging analysis of decades of NASA history‚ the Columbia Accident Investigation Board said the space agency’s attitude toward safety hasn’t changed much since the 1986 Challenger disaster‚ which also killed seven.

Amidst the shortcoming of the Cold War‚ the goal of the 1960’s was “to go above and beyond” in space exploration by successfully landing a man on the moon‚ which would serve as a gambit to conceivably lead the United States to victory. Before astronauts ventured beyond the earth‚ scientists had to assess the space environment and the hazards of human exploration. Soon after President John F. Kennedy assumed office in January of 1961‚ the space race was undoubtedly underway‚ and the United State’s

is approximately 1‚200 light-years away from Earth towards the Lyra constellation. Kepler-62f is unique due to it being 40 percent larger than Earth. With that and it’s planetary range‚ scientists believe it may possess oceans‚ and maybe even life. NASA discovered the planet back in 2013 but at the time‚ did not reveal any information about its atmosphere. Suddenly‚ they know that Kepler-62f ha a warm atmosphere. Warm enough to have surface water. If this is true‚ it’s possible many other exoplanets
