The third of three NASA tragedies occurred in February of 2003. During re-entry after two week mission‚ the Columbia shuttle broke apart. A thorough investigation linked the cause to a section of the silica ceramic insulation foam that lined the underbelly of the spacecraft. The entire crew was killed. Lost or damaged insulation tiles have been a reoccurring issue that never escalated into life threatening status until now. During the investigation‚ NASA officials noticed that a chunk of foam

The question is should NASA fund asteroid studies? I think they should fund the asteroid studies because it could help us move to other places‚ it could save lives by building inventions that capture the asteroids‚ along with us trying to see if they have valuable resources. I believe it could help with protection‚ lifestyles and resources. The reasoning for these things is to help us out incase we try to move to a different places in our solar systems such as Mars. We could also try to build stuff

During the launch‚ I saw the Earth from very high up as I launched into space (though the fire emitted by the rocket blocked most of the view). We reached very intense speeds as we left the Earth’s atmosphere. We used a new rocket from SpaceX called the Dragon. This rocket will also be taking us back to earth as it is capable of making a launch and return trip. Our first stop on the trip was to the Apollo 11 landing site‚ as it was the place of the first lunar landing. It is also a relatively smooth

Chile Atacama desert Useful To Find Life On Mars Chile Atacama desert may appear to contain little other than red-dim shakes and sand. However‚ researchers are occupied with hunting here down pieces of information to life in a place it much looks like the Mars. This desert in northern Chile‚ similar to the red planet‚ is hot‚ dusty and to a great degree dry. However life exists here: modest green growth and microscopic organisms that have developed to get by in the dry earth on minimal more than

Space travel has always been an exciting adventure for people. For centuries people have looked at the stars and wondered what else was out there. Then we started studying it and as technology and human knowledge advanced people started getting more curious. Now in the 21st century people wonder if it is really worth it to fund a mission to space that is hugely expensive‚ time consuming and difficult to generate public support for. The United States does not have a space exploration program anymore
