Technology has been useful to mankind in the past through our motivation to move forward. For example, the Apollo program was the greatest peacetime mobilization in the United States. NASA spent about 180 million dollars of the federal budget, employed 400,000 people, and collaborated with about 20,000 companies and organizations. The program was not only a victory for the West from the Cold War, it increased our curiosity of what technology is capable of. The astronauts went to the moon because it was a big thing to do. However, landing on the moon would not have happened if it were not for the long series of technological triumphs like the assembly line and the airplane.
As years gone by, technologist have diverted us and enhanced themselves
Going back to the moon has been a question in the scientific community ever since man landed on the moon in 1969 and not returning since the 1970s. Scientists have debated whether not going back to the moon is a something we need to do. “Yes America has been there. That doesn’t mean it’s not worth going back... NASA’s plan for the moon include just short, Apollo-style stopovers but eventually a moon base." (Doeden 10) Going back to the moon is something that people should be very passionate about. It was a great achievement to travel to somewhere seen as unreachable even today. But some people think that we are passed going to the moon and we should look farther into space. Many science enthusiasts want to see people going to Mars or an even
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is one of the leading organizations in space technology and research. In the past 60 years, NASA has sent numerous satellites, telescopes and crew modules into space. Despite drawbacks in launch failures and lack of funding, NASA continues to focus on its mission in space exploration and technological advancement. One of NASA’s projects is to explore deep space, in which entails a manned missions to Mars, exploration of the asteroid belt, and beyond. With these goals in mind, NASA has engineered new rocketry and even created a program to better allocate costs of such conquests. With these new advancements, NASA has created a new age of how space travel is carried out.
The idea of colonizing the Moon sparks controversy and while there are plenty of downsides, the benefit will be far superior and eliminate any degrading it may cause. Of course, the Moon is a dead, inactive planet as of now, but we can spark light on the satellite. After getting past the debt of colonizing the moon, we will have the potential for building a fueling station and we should have a backup plan for when nuclear war does inevitably happen.
For the last forty years people have been arguing whether if the Moon landings were real. The Moon landings occurred during the late 1960’s and into the early 1970’s. During this time the United States and the Soviet Union were in a competition known as the Space Race. The main objective during the Space Race was for one country to put a man on the Moon. The competition was getting intense, and both countries began expanding their space programs. During the Space Race and the Apollo missions NASA created over 400,000 jobs making it impossible for all of the workers to keep the events a secret if it were fake (Riley). The technology between the two countries was also top of the line at that time. The Soviet Union could track down the United States every move, so therefore if the moon landings were fake; the Soviet Union would clearly know (Allen). With the technological advancements and the jobs created throughout the process of the Apollo missions, it’s obvious that NASA did not fake the Moon landings.
Technology and science has a major impact on our daily lives, especially cell phones and the Internet. People everywhere take for granted the technology that they have access to everyday, and they would not know what to do without it because they rely on it for almost every aspect in their life. Christopher Columbus would have made it to India if he was able to utilize the technology society is so accustomed to
Bill Gates once mentioned,“We’re changing the world with technology.” During the 1940s the US was in war with Japan and the US used technology to their advantage by dropping nuclear bombs on Japan and saving many Americans lives.Now technology benifits people every were. For example technology can help people clean,cook, remind us and make many things. In the story “There Will Come Soft Rains” by Ray Bradbury it mentions how technology benefits society helping with everyday tasks
Technology has become apart of the human way of life. Simply step outside and technology can be seen everywhere. It aids not only our nation, but the world as a whole. Yet there was a point an time in history where technology didn't exists; it was just a mere thought. Such an idea was once thought to be inhuman or idiotic. It was portrayed as witch craft, unnatural, and frond upon because people were unwilling to change and accept new ideas. Yet when beliefs are tested, broken down, and explained, then greatness comes about it. There are people who brave enough to test these theories, without them we wouldn't be where we are today. Technology has been one small step for man, but one giant leap for mankind.
Asid from Aliens and Ufos being kept at Area 51, another popular conspiracy theory is the 1969 moon landing was staged at Area 51. A scenario by a conspiracy writer states that NASA knew that at the time it would be impossible to send astronauts to the moon because of the risk of lethal radiation.The moon landing had to be faked to avoid embarrassment and ensure future funding for NASA. On the day of the rocket launch, they staged an actual rocket launch but no one was inside. The Apollo crew was transferred to Area 51 where there was a movie stage set up to record the fake landing. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin then acted out the lunar landing and NASA transmitted out to the millions of viewers. Technology was available at the time to create a movie set that looked like the moon and film quality believable footage.One woman claimed to see a Coca Cola bottle roll across the bottom of her screen while watching the live broadcast of the moon landing proving that it was filmed at Area 51. Other than pure embarrassment being avoided the landing had to be staged in order to meet Kennedy's 1961 goal of landing a man on the moon before 1970.Coincidentally they walked on the moon in 1969 one year before the deadline Kennedy had set. The moon landing would also be a great distraction from the unpopular vietnam war and keep the American public`s focus on something more positive. Another reason for the faked moon landing was to beat the Soviet`s in the space race. The space
Over the past 48 years, there has been quite a bit of controversy and speculation about the Apollo 11 moon landing. This supposedly was the first time the United States successfully sent two people, mission commander Neil Armstrong, and his pilot Buzz Aldrin, to the moon. The two men spent 21 hours and 36 minutes of the moon's surface, and steaked the American flag on the moon. They also had photographs and video footage taken of them by NASA. These photos caused many people and also many conspiracy theorist, to look deeper into these doubtful images.
As I have mentioned so many times in my previous posts, I'm so into watching and reading up on Apollo 13 mission which goes back to 1970.
One reason why technology is good is that it has saved many lives. We have new machines to scan bodies and test blood and other fluids so that doctors can find diseases and
We have came up a lot with all of the new technology that we have created through out the years. There is a lot of technology that is very good and it is helping us out on a lot of things and why? because when you know how to use technology appropriately it can help us out so much and can even keep us safe from all the dangers like car accidents. Technology can be fun as well I'm not going to lie we can use technology with our family all the time for example, watching a family movie or playing video games. We can have fun with our technology but the thing is that we have a little to much fun with it and get carried away and start using it all of the time. Ther are people that spent time on their phone until 3:00am and it just takes away from our sleep. But other than that technology is helping us out in discoverying new thing in not just Earth but also other plants. We can discover a lot of things with all the new technology we
A lot of people believe that we are not too dependent on technology. I spoke to my brother; he stated we just utilize it like we would automobiles or anything else like that. There is no denying the benefits of technology, however, I believe we should not get ahead of ourselves.
Our modern technology dates back thousands and thousands of years ago to the ancient world. If it wasn’t for the civilizations who started this all, we would have very little to no technology, because they were the creators of our world today. The simplest things they created to help them survive and make everyday life easier has improved over the years and have also made it simpler for us to survive as well. Their cultures started a movement for technology and some of the things they invented are incredibly creative and genius. To look back and see the inventions they made with their own bare hands is amazing, considering they had no machines to help them build things and basically had no base to piggy back off of. Three cultures that truly shaped the way we live today were the ancient Egyptians, the ancient Greeks, and the Romans.
Thanks to technology that our country closer and gradually catch up with the rise of the powerful country in Europe. It also aided in the process of industrialization, modernization of Vietnam. Technology helps a lot for our country, from a merely agricultural production with engineering backward gradually became an industrialized country. We can't deny the tremendous role that technology has brought to the lives of the people of our country; it changes the appearance for our nation. Besides, the development of technology with a lot of modern appliances such as mobile phones, laptop, and iPhone ... makes the relationships between people with people becoming more
