Many problem skills had to be used and improvised during the movie‚ Apollo 13‚ but the one that amazed me was when Jim and Fred had to manually adjust the ship. I believe this held a significant amount of importance for getting the astronauts home. Everyone knew that to be able to reenter the earth’s atmosphere the ship only had a tiny amount of room for error. When NASA informed the astronauts that they needed to do another burn‚ but they don’t have enough power to start up the ship for the computers

With the lifting of the Berlin Blockade in 1945 came the start of the Cold War. It was the beginning of nearly 50 years of a new generation of war. The United States and Russia combated each other in terms of military prowess‚ economic power‚ and technological development. The later brought on the “Space Race.” There’s little clarity on where the race would end‚ but it’s generally regarded that the race was one to land on the moon. Although it was a product of war‚ the space race was a great

On April 9‚ 1959‚ NASA’s administrator‚ Dr. Keith Glennan formed its first astronaut class‚ the Mercury 7. Project Mercury’s objective was to place a human spacecraft into orbital flight around Earth. It was to observe how the human body reacted in space conditions. Many questions appeared as to whether they would come back safely or if were they the right people to do the challenge. The selection process in order to be qualified for NASA’s project took awhile. More than 500 applicants qualified

Before baseline 11-10 launches‚ the distance rocket traveled 6.73m and weighed 1.12 grams and the seconds rocket went .92 seconds and weighed .95 grams. By adding some cardstock for fins and taking off my clay and replacing it with tape it went quite a bit further and it went quite a bit faster‚ the weight was .93 grams. With the weight taken off‚ the rocket went 1.796 m farther. For the baseline launches‚ the distance average was 7.465m and .91 seconds and for the height the average was 2

UFO or NASA weather balloon? There is a wealth of UFO sightings around the world. There is also always someone around to see it. These videos are full of shaky footage and interesting commentary. It could be a UFO? And the video is put to the test through peer evaluation‚ usually on YouTube. Rational folk always have an answer. A drone. Trump flying around with bat wings. Or a more simpler explanation‚ a NASA weather balloon. It would be difficult to dismiss the chance that a real UFO has been caught

In the International Space Station‚ NASA experiments and shows how more explorations into space may make it easier to maneuver through a deep space and be able to locate the missions position in this deep space. This is done in an ethereal kind of “Global Positioning System or GPS” if you can have a GPS without the global. This form of tracking is using signals from dead stars in deep space that are always constant. The Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer or NICER took a day and a half to
