The asteroid 2016 HO3 has been looping Earth for at least a century. Scientists are not willing to call asteroid HO3 a moon because it orbits the Sun not the Earth. It is important for NASA to have a department dedicated to keeping or planet safe a they can keep missels from hitting us and comets and asteroids from hitting Earth. THe most interesting part for me was when it talk about the asteroid orbiting the sun then chaning to earth it was interesting because I thought it was cool how it orbited around the for half the year the Earth for the other
John F. Kennedy once said, "No nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in this race for space...We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard”. The main motive for this quote was to ensure that the United States wanted to beat out the Soviets in the space race. Ever since the Soviets tried to advance on the moon, the United States wanted to be the first successful nation to accomplish the first ever moon landing. At the time, the tension between the United States and the Soviets was very strong because the Cold War just ended and neither nation wanted to lose to each other in the space race. Just as the
Have you ever wanted to soar? Fly? Glide through the skies of the earth or even the great unknown called the universe? Well thanks to todays’ technology and the company founded on July 29 1958, NASA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics), we can now undertake that dream; you can finally take to the air.
Recently Pluto was declassified as a planet leaving only eight planets in Earth’s solar system. There were many mixed feelings about the declassification. Many people were happy because they thought pluto should have never been considered a planet in the first place. People thought that pluto was far to small and too far away to be a planet in the first place, over shadowed by the much larger nearer planets to it. Meanwhile other people were distraught at the thought that NASA could take Pluto’s title as a planet away that easily. Growing up with being taught about Pluto as a planet and learning so much about it many people were offended that the title of planet was striped from Pluto.
Imagine a new planet with an atmosphere and people roaming around like it was Earth. Scientists can do that by sending just four people to Mars than adding more as the colonists on Mars make additional progress. Scientists have built technology, like a machine that could take the carbon dioxide on Mars and change it into oxygen so people could breath up there. If they are willing to never come back down to Earth let them go up. Colonizing Mars is a terrific idea so the Earth can use the ice hidden underground, the people on Earth will believe that anything is possible, and the people can live up there.
Many issues have arisen from the debate whether or not Pluto is a planet. Some astronomers say that Pluto should be classified as a “minor planet” due to its size, physical characteristics, and other factors. On the other hand, some astronomers defend Pluto’s planet status, citing several key features.
Today, when flying spacecraft no pilot desires to be interrupted unless of an absolute emergency, however on Apollo 8, the pilots was disturbed for a plethora of silly reasons besides emergencies. Myriad astronauts from America have died going into space, thus, Boardman, who would pilot Apollo 8 into space was slightly nervous. Moreover, Apollo 8 would be launched from its plant in Downey California, where the newer versions of the ship type were being crafted. Boardman was offered to get launched on December 2st before a major holiday, Christmas. Furthermore, Boardman declined and answered “no thanks.” Since going to space seemed similar to going to war or being deployed overseas, it was hard for Boardman to tell his wife that he was going to space, since it was a completely different course of action that not several civilians perform. Last, although results of Boardman telling his family about going to space went better than expected, there is more info that some citizens wanted to share with the public as for a few citizens a trip to the moon seems exciting despite the dangers associated with the trip.
Earth is our own spaceship regulated not by circuits that can short but by organisms, the sun, and our atmosphere which can be threatened. Apollo 13 itself was the pre-eminent message of what can happen when in fact planet Earth runs into its own complicated “shorts.” However, if Earth become uninhabitable there nowhere to fly to and take refuge from outer space and all its lethality. Odum recognizes, “So far, all attempts to build a large bioregenerative life-support system that would support a large number of people in space without a supply “umbilical cord” to earth, have failed.” When the greenhouse gases, nuclear waste, and chemicals kill our complex life support system that we as humans do not fully understand, there will be nowhere left for humanity.
Conspiracy theories have been around since the beginning of time. When NASA sent the first landed on the moon, there are people who believed that NASA faked the moon landings. Men, such as Bill Kaysing, the Flat Earth Society, and Davie Groves, and Bart Sibrel, have written books, delivered lectures, and made videos about why they believed NASA faked the moon landings. Based on their observations which include no stars in their pictures, NASA's drive to beat the Russians to the moon, and a way to distract people from the Vietnam war, the group believes that the moon landings were faked.
In 1975, two scientists by the name of Dr. William K. Hartmann and Dr. Donald R. Davis, came up with a groundbreaking new theory on how the moon was created. Their theory stated “At the time Earth formed 4.5 billion years ago, other smaller planetary bodies were also growing. One of these hit earth late in Earth 's growth process, blowing out rocky debris. A fraction of that debris went into orbit around the Earth and aggregated into the moon” (Hartmann & Herres 1). This theory is known as the Giant Impact Theory and is the accepted theory in the scientific community of how the moon was created. Even though this theory is accepted by most, there are still some people who don’t hold this theory to be true. I agree with Davis and Hartmann’s Giant Impact Theory that a great collision occurred and created the moon. The Giant Impact Theory is supported by the lack of iron on the moon, the moon rocks from the Apollo missions, and its acceptance in the scientific community.

In 1905 Pervical Lowell was the fist person to notice Pluto and he started observing Neptune and Uranus and he observed a similarity from this two planets and Pluto. After almost 25 years Pluto then was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh and like it was stated in the “Pluto files” Core Friday, Pluto was then named after an 11 year old girl who told her grandfather that “the new world get its name from the Roman god of the underworld “ from there her grandfather passed the name on to Lowell Observatory. Pluto was once consider the ninth most distant planet from the sun , but in recent years research have found that Pluto after all does not fit most of the characteristics that other planets do therefor they have reclassified Pluto as one of the largest dwarf planet in the solar system.
Also, the azimuth was less than 180 degrees which gave an estimate at where it would be in the sky.
Was the moon landing a fake? How did we have the technology to send a rocket as well as people to the space? The footprint on the moon didn’t match that of Armstrong's boot, where’d this tread pattern left on the footprint come from? These are just some questions that are asked about the moon landing. Was it real or fake? You could research this topic on many different webpages, books, and personal opinions but will it ever bring us closer to the truth? Also can you trust what you read or heard from someone or a website. The moon landing was a hoax based on many different facts and accusations.
In our everyday lives, there are a multitude of forces acting on and upon us all the time. One fundamental force is gravity. Gravity (also known as gravitational force) is the force of attraction. Every object in the world that has mass exerts a pull-otherwise known as force, on other mass ["Forces of Attraction."]. Gravitational pull increases and decreases depending on the amount of mass, and how close objects are. ["Weight, Mass and Gravity."] [See Fig 1.]. In this way, gravity has played a large part in contributing to the creation and development of the universe. It made bits of matter gather together to form things like moons, planets, stars, and even large, whirling galaxies. It also causes the Earth and
The paper is an overview of dawn mission that is designed to study two large bodies in the asteroid belt: Vesta and Ceres. The dawn mission journeys to the center of the main asteroid belt to orbit and explore the two most massive main belt asteroids, Vesta and Ceres. Dawn aims to increase or understanding not just of the present state of these two bodies, but also of the conditions during the time of their formation. It attempts this through achieving a set of measurement objectives in which the physical properties of these asteroids such as mass, slopes, size, density, and spin state are accurately determined, and in which the mineralogical and elemental composition of the surface and near-surface material are probed. Dawn employs ion propulsion technology to enable a modestly-sized launcher to start a moderately-sized spacecraft on its journey, to not only reach the two massive asteroids but also to orbit them, descending to near the surface. They both have survived largely intact through the collisional history of the solar system. Furthermore, evidence shows that each has
