In this summery we will talk about Nasa’s goals like when they went to the moon, and the apollo missions. You will read about Nasa’s history and mistakes like when shuttles are being launched but they go the wrong way. Also you will read about some of the most known people in Nasa like Wernher von Braun, and Neil Armstrong. Today Nasa is currently trying to find a way to make a new civilization on Mars because son he earth will no longer be able to take care of living things like us humans, dogs, cats, and insects. Nasa has found out that Does have a chance at taking care of living organisms because rovers that are named Curiosity, and Spirit have taken pictures of Mars and scientist saw in the photos traces of water, and water means that life is possible.

...right before his death in 1543. It was based on a theory by Ptolemy a 2nd century AD Greek mathematician and astronomer . (Sheila, 2010) In it he worked out a heliocentric mathematical theory that suggested the earth rotated around the sun. Additional Advances have continued to change our understanding of the solar system ever since. (Sheila, 2010) Example 1: geocentric view Greco-Roman mathematician and astronomer Ptolemy (c. AD 90 – c. AD 168) believed the movements of the sun, stars, and planets could be explained mathmatically. He created a set of astronomical tables which he called his Handy Tables which allowed astronomers to calculate the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets. It also allowed astronomers to predict eclipses. (Gribben, J.) He believed the universe was geocentric meaning the universe revolved around the Earth. This view would with some minor changes hold until Copernicus published his theories in 1543. Example 2: A heliocentric view In 1543 Nicolaus Copernicus published his book On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres. (Sheila, 2010) In his book Copernicus proposed a heliocentric Universe meaning the earth revolved around the Sun. It also influenced many of the great scientists who would come after. In 1610 Galileo Galilei used a new invention the telescope to discover four moons around Jupiter and that there were many more stars in the sky than could be seen with the...

I never imagined I would be writing one in the midst of an economic crisis unlike any we have seen in decades. As I write this, search queries are reflecting economic hardship, the major market indexes are one-half of what they were less than 18 months ago, and els. unemployment is at record levels. Nonetheless, I am optimistic about the future, because I believe scarcity breeds clarity: it focuses minds, forcing g people to think creatively and rise to the challenge. While much smaller in scale than today’s global collapse, e, the dot-com bust of 2000-2002 pushed Google and others in the industry to make some tough decisions — and we all emerged stronger as a result. This new crisis punctuates the end of our first decade e as a company, a decade that has brought great change to Google, the web and the Internet as a whole. As I reflect on this short time period, our accomplishments and our shortcomings, I am very excited about what the next 10 years may bring. But let me start a little farther back — in 1990, the very first web...
