Be sure to provide a description of each major character, their leadership style, and why you believe they were important to the story. Brief Summary Movie-APOLLO 13 NASA’s Apollo 13 mission was a mission to the moon, but because of mechanical problems the Apollo 13 not only failed to reach the moon, it was almost lost. The Apollo 13" mission showed men solving problems with their intelligence, their skill sets, bravery and most of all teamwork. This mission raised issues of loyalty for the individual against the loyalty of the team as a whole. It represented how the success of the mission became more important than the need of the one. Ken Mattingly one of the astronauts that was supposed to be on the Apollo 13 mission but was cut for a “maybe” health issue, played the role of the person who saved the mission. He showed that even with bad luck that prevented him from being on the mission, means even if you are not on the first team, you can still play the most important in saving the mission and become a hero. Each astronaut, was a positive male role model in their own right. (NASA, 2016). Major Characters Jim Lovell: Apollo 13 commander, was the world’s most traveled astronaut. He participated in three mission and had 572 hours of spaceflight experience. He demonstrated transformational...

...by former PayPal entrepreneur and Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk. SpaceX was founded with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. It has developed the Falcon 1 and Falcon 9 launch vehicles, both of which were designed from conception to eventually become reusable. SpaceX also developed the Dragon spacecraft, which are flown into orbit by the Falcon 9 launch vehicle, initially transporting cargo and later planned to carry humans to the International Space Station and other destinations.[1] By 2012, SpaceX had over 40 launches on its manifest representing about $4 billion in contract revenue—with many of those contracts already making progress payments to SpaceX—with both commercial and government (NASA/DOD) customers. As of December 2013, SpaceX has a total of 50 future launches under contract, two-thirds of them are for commercial customers. SpaceX's low launch prices, especially for communication satellites flying to geostationary orbit, have resulted in market pressure on its competitors to lower their own prices. In recent years, the communications satellites launch market has been dominated by "Europe's Arianespace, which flies the Ariane 5, and International Launch Services (ILS), which markets Russia's Proton vehicle." Depending on a number of factors, mostly the size and weight of payload, the cost of a single launch ranges from $100 million to $260...

...following salient features: ✓ First of all. whistle-blowing can be done only by a member of an organisation. It is not like a witness of a crime but by an employee within the organisation. When the employees who become aware of illegal or immoral conduct in their own organisation resort to whistle-blowing. ✓ Secondly. there must be information in whistle-blowing. It should involve the release of non-public information. There is a distinction between blowing the whistle and sounding the alarm. The whistle blowers have to reveal new facts. ✓ Thirdly. the information should be of some significant kind of misconduct on the part of an organisation. Whistle-blowing is reserved for matters of substantial importance. For example, companies paying heavy funding for political parties is known to outsiders only from people who are associated with the companies. ✓ Fourthly. the information through whistle-blowing must be released outside the normal channels of communication. Whistle-blowing is not necessarily involving the process of "going public" and revealing the information outside. It can also be an internal whistle-blowing. In fact, many corporations have an announced policy of encouraging employees to submit any suspicions related to misconduct to the Chief Executive Officer. ✓ Fifthly. whistle-blowing is expected to bring about a desired change. It...

...Executive Summary Airbus and Boeing have constituted a duopoly in the large jet airliner market since the 1990s, leading to fierce competition. Boeing is an American company while Airbus began as a consortium of European aviation. The two are presently facing issue that tarnish their political, legal, and ethical reputations. Airbus argues that Boeing has received over $16 billion from the US government in addition to help from countries like Japan. The U.S. fires back arguing that since 1992, Airbus has been receiving EU government loans. Boeing’s scandal with Lockheed and the discovery of wing cracks in the Airbus A380s have damaged both companies’ ethical reputations. The following recommendations will ensure that, while Boeing and Airbus compete in the commercial airline industry, their actions will be ethical and legal, while adapting within the current cultural and political bounds of the global market. Introduction Boeing: the world’s largest aerospace company Since its foundation in 1916 in the Puget Sound region of Washington State, Boeing has become the largest aerospace company and a leading producer of military and commercial aircraft. Boeing’s military aircraft come equipped with satellite, missiles, launch vehicles and advanced information, and communication systems. The number one U.S. exporter have about 160,000 employees across the United States and in 70 countries, making it one of the most diverse and talented companies that thrive through their innovative...

Foreword omputer networks are having dramatic impacts on our lives. What were once esoteric tools used only by scientists and engineers are becoming more widely used in schools, libraries, and businesses. At the same time, researchers are working to develop even more capable networks that promise to change fundamentally the way we communicate. This background paper analyzes technologies for tomorrow’s information superhighways. Advanced networks will first be used to support scientists in their work, linking researchers to supercomputers, databases, and scientific instruments. As the new networks are deployed more widely, they will be used by a broader range of users for business, entertainment, health care, and education applications. The background paper also describes six test networks that are being funded as part of the High Performance Computing and Communications Program. These test networks are a collaboration of government, industry, and academia, and allow researchers to try new approaches to network design and to attack a variety...

One government official noted, “It is espionage on a massive scale.” Government agencies reported almost 13,000 security incidents to the U.S. Homeland Security Department during fiscal year 2008, triple the number from two years earlier. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) (www.nasa.gov) is one of the hardest-hit agencies. The government agency responsible for the nation’s public space program, NASA, has been the target of cyber-espionage dating back at least to the late 1990s. During...
