America is a very competitive country, they always have to be number one in everything they do. During the twelve year space race, if the Soviet Union would have been the first to put a man on the moon, then America would have had to retaliate by spending more money, doing endless research on going to Mars and possibly starting a settlement. The space race would descend, but America would never settle being in second place for long. “President Kennedy was convinced that with a strong commitment of

of this discovery was to send men to the moon. This idea was not created or thought of out of the blue and was created from the work and experiments of others. This idea formed from Project Mecury, and took things much further in regard to space exploration. If it wasn’t for Project Mecury, the Apollo missions would have never come to pass. Some of the questions that had to be asked in regard to the Apollo missions was how can we make it possible for men to survive the trip to and from the moon? Sending

telescope on such a proud sacred beautiful place it would really makes A’ole TMT As you may know one of the big growing issues here in Hawaii is the Thirty Meter Telescope, or as you may have heard it, TMT, on top of Mauna Kea. Its really hard to miss! There are protesters on the side of the roads, “A’ole TMT” signs almost everywhere you go. You don't actually have to be on the mountain to see and feel the power of the protesters and people against this destruction. I will be explaining to you

According to some scientists, the moon is not a natural satellite rotating around Earth but actually an artificial one. Furthermore, some believe that beneath the lunar surface is a hollow society developed by aliens. Of course, no proof of this exists yet but the evidence continues to grow. MOON CONSPIRACY GETS ATTENTION OF SCIENTISTS There are various conspiracy theories out there but per pass one of the most interesting is the Hollow Moon Hypotheses. In the past, some have thought Earth's satellite

I chose to talk about Space Explorations: Apollo Missions. I chose this because landing on the moon was a wonderful thing we were able to accomplish and I do consider the crew to be a heros. They very easily could have died and I don’t know that a lot of people think about that they were willing to give their lives to be able to move Science forward. In the book “Apollo Moon Mission: The unsung heroes” it said “In 1961, President John F. Kennedy issued a challenge: the United States would land a

In mid July, NASA’s New Horizons probe made its flyby of Pluto following its years-long approach, and collected a lot of amazing data--some of which is still being transmitted--to further our scientific advance and our understanding of the outer reaches of our solar system. But Pluto was only one of the sights in the New Horizons mission. Now NASA’s probe hurdles past Pluto in order to explore what lies beyond it in the Kuiper Belt. BEYOND PLUTO A recent Washington Post article detailed what New

the astronauts with his American viewers. Through the use of various rhetorical strategies, Reagan not only provides his condolences for the astronaut’s families, but also uses the accident as way to inspire those who may have lost hope on space exploration to look at the sacrifice made by the Challenger Seven as a stepping stone in the advancement of humanity. In order to sympathize with his American audience, Reagan utilises pathos to mourn the tragedy. He begins his

Introduction: Our challenge was to create a water bottle rocket, using 2-liter soda bottles, that will fly on demand to at least an altitude of 100 feet (30 meters) and land safely so that the raw egg aboard remains unbroken. Some specifications that our rocket needed to meet were to have a nose cone, 3-4 fins, and a crash proof container. Our rocket was required to be completely finished by the launch date, which caused us to rush through some parts of the construction process. One constraint that

Why did Columbus travel west? Why did Marco Polo head east? Because it is that pull, that unknown, that unknown pull of adventure that urges humans to seek new frontiers to explore. 67% of people say that we should hold a manned mission to Mars. If we do have a manned mission I think that it will help economically because when the space race was going on between Russia and the U.S it provided many jobs to people and bettered the economy. I think that the U.S should hold a manned mission to Mars.

With humanity coming closer and closer to finally having the ability to visit another planet, many have questioned whether or not, once we can visit Mars, if we should. Whatever one’s position on the topic, one thing can be agreed upon, that sending a manned mission to The Red Planet will be very difficult, and cost an extremely large amount of money and resources. Sending actual live people to Mars is something that is coming closer to a reality, with the chance approaching extremely fast, in the
