The trip around the moon was uneventful as it should have been; they were now floating in space equidistance between the moon and Earth. Major Wakowski, Senior Master Sergeant Smith and the other PJ’s had already prepped the drones, loaded them onto launch bay, where a specifically designed launch tube had been designed to fire the drones out into space. Once satisfied with everything, they left the launch bay, Major Wakowski returned to the weapons and security station on the bridge and reported

My experience as the first space colony recruit was something else. Exploring the dark side of the moon was somewhat frightening. It was a lot darker than what I imagined it to be. The very first day of the exploration the people from the space station gave me a very good flashlight. They told me it could last up to thirty-six hours of lightness.

“Why choose Europa?” a reporter asked me. ”Why not Jupiter or Saturn?” “I want to be the first to explore unknown areas!” “Aren’t you scared about being alone for two years?” “I enjoy being alone. I can observe better.” “Why did NASA chose you?” “I worked as a scientist from mission control.” I boarded the space shuttle. I glanced outside. I would be travelling 390.4 million miles away from home. I would return after researching fifteen years later. Six years later we arrived at Europa. “This

The Saturn V rocket was the launch vehicle that launched the Apollo missions to the moon and even launched America’s first space station. The vehicle arose from Cold War tension and President Kennedy’s vow that America would go to the moon by the end of the decade.

The Mars 1 (Sputnik 23) mission was a failed fly by in November 1962. It was successfully launched by the USSR (Soviet Union) on the first of November 1992.

and worked extremely well for most IT executives as we could execute with multi-discipline partnerships, segment technology stacks and general provide core applications to our business partners. However we would suggest we are on the midst of our Apollo moment in technology. 1969 saw one of man’s greatest accomplishments achieved. Neil Armstrong walked on the moon a mere ten years after Kennedy’s bold challenge. A relatively insurmountable task when you consider we hadn’t even sent a man to space

Surveyor program (1966-1968) The Apollo missions are arguably the most famous missions of human kind.

At first, the government tried to hide to hide it, but pretty quickly everyone caught on that something colossal was happening. Eventually NASA released the information that an enormous asteroid was on a collision course to Earth, one large enough to wipe out all life. In the limited time the government had, they built a spaceship that could hold 1 million people. To determine who got to go on the spaceship and depart on a 13 year journey to another planet, the world leaders made a test. I
