HAARP was created to research the Ionosphere but is also believed to have other capabilities.

Equality is a word that possesses many meanings and feelings which encompass centuries of wars and struggles especially with racism. While it is easy to look back at history and accept the accounts for misconduct and atrocities, it is vital to reexamine and revise thoughts and actions in order to prepare for the future. An invisible type of racism that can be revealed with reexamination often times is institutional racism. The short story, “The Comet” written by W. E. B. Du Bois, is a story set in a post-apocalyptic world. The story shows that in order to bring down barriers of racism, it requires a catastrophic event to occur. Another story that focuses on a similar concept of institutional racism, but uses science fiction as a vehicle is “The Bicentennial Man”, written by Isaac Asimov. In this story, a robot named Andrew suffers through prejudice and racism despite his many contributions to society. It takes a large sacrifice in order to allow for humans to disregard race and to take robots as an equal. Although both stories pull in elements of science fiction, it is clear that the stories incorporate a dominating theme of not just racism but institutional racism. This paper will discuss some historical context to the two authors’ experiences along with a deeper dive into the text in regards to institutional racism.

In an excerpt from the Futurama episode ‘Crimes of the Hot’ (as seen above), we see a crew attempting to mine ice from Halley’s Comet in order to counteract the effects of global warming, whilst maintaining the show’s trademark comical wit (Groening, Cohen, Keeler, Supercinski, & Katz, 2002). Although the plan fails as Halley’s Comet has been depleted of ice in an unfortunate, but humorous turn of events, it evokes the question; can we mine a comet, or something of similar nature (e.g. an asteroid) for resources?

1. Terra Nova is currently at a turning point in the company’s timeline.  Until recently, the company has been successful and growing and a leader in its industry. The financial downturns the company is currently experiencing are due to the complacency that started in top management and, in order to fix this situation, there must be multiple changes made. There is a large social disconnect between the younger and more senior members of the firm. Although Terra Nova has a hierarchical structure based on skill and demonstrated results, in recent years the senior partners received more support from the company leaders and benefits while the junior professionals feel undervalued and unappreciated. Because of

Explore and observe the objects in the solar system to understand how they formed and evolve

Should NASA fund asteroid studies? NASA (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) This has been debated for an elongated time. Many people believe that NASA should put money into the studies. Their would be many benefits to this. What do you think? I Think NASA should fund asteroid studies for countless reasons.

Chapter IV focuses on the presence of the Americans in Puerto Rico during the early part of the twentieth century and their subsequent development of the sugarcane industry there. During this time, the United States military occupied Puerto Rico. Due to this occupation, the native islanders were affected in numerous ways and were looked down upon by the Americans.

Immediately after Bob Rae assumed power, the economy of Ontario began collapsing due high rates of joblessness, rising deficits and the government consequently lost the support of the business people who have a significant impact on Ontario’s economy. (News in Review 2002) The worst mistake they made about their chances of reelection was the decision to introduce a policy to limit the wages of workers in the public sector who had formed groups that supported the policies of NDP unconditionally. (News in Review 2002) Under Harris, the Conservative party canvased voters to gain insights into their opinions on a range of issues such as tax cuts, reduction in welfare, bootcamps for lawbreakers, and the abolition of positive discrimination

The astronomers have given the asteroid a "condition code" of eight out of a possible 10, which means they cannot accurately predict its movements.

Passage one “A Success in Space” has an extraordinary mission. It talks about The Philae lander the passage states, “The Philae lander is about the size of a washing machine. It dropped from the Rosetta spacecraft and landed on comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko, known as 67p.” It landed on 67p to research and conduct experiments. One interesting fact is that by learning about

We have been given this neat display as a result of the Swift-Tuttle comet’s unusually close encounter with the third planet of the solar system, causing it (this third planet) to pass through a thin, cylindrical-shaped trail of rocky particles such that many burn up in the Earth’s atmosphere, creating a dazzling display of cosmic destruction.

We should fund asteroid studies because we can get resource money and protection. With resources we can build new inventions and help out the world and be able to do all kinds of different things. Money we can sell some of the resources and have more projects for space and more also get us out of dent and help us all. Protection more we study them more we know about them more we know we can use against asteroids and pull them away from hitting earth or capture them to for more studies. This why NASA should fund asteroid studies to make earth a better place. This could be a big step for NASA and the government and if they do this it will be big step for earth.

There are several different theories that scientists have about how comets develop and where they come from. There are thousands of comets that have been recognized and actually registered and made official. Scientists think that most of them, including Halley's Comet, came from the Oort Cloud in space that is on the edge of the solar system and contains millions of comets. Supposedly the comets all go around in a very slow circle in the Oort Cloud unless they pass close enough to a star to be pulled into orbit by the gravitational forces of the star. Scientists think that is what happened when Halley's Comet was pulled in by the gravity of the Sun.

The Goddard Space Flight Center states that there are 2,271 artificial satellites currently in space orbiting the earth. An artificial satellite is a hand-made machine that orbits the planet earth to help in many different ways in communications, documenting information, sending and receiving signals. A satellite is a moon, planet, or a machine that orbit a planet or a star. There are many types of satellites and each one is used for different reasons. Some satellites are used to send and receive television signals. Some other satellites are used in communications by making it possible to send and receive signals from phones, fax, internet and computers to people all over the world. Other satellites are used in forecasting by giving information about the earth’s weather to scientists. Also, there is another type of satellites that take accurate picture of earth to show the environmental situation such as resources, pollution and statistics of crops and water (NOAA, 2014). Satellites improved a lot in the daily life uses such as weather forecasting, documenting information, communication and positioning systems.
