Moai Creation

Every employee of NASA should known the tragic event of Apollo 13; At that time in 1970 the three astronauts James Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert had to abort their mission to flight to the moon due to an explosion of an oxygen tank. They had to fight against, carbon dioxide, coldness, a lack of energy and the almost certain death. Despite of a distance of 205,000 miles the three men made it back to earth alive in the Lunar Module Aquarius (Lovell et al. 2006). This was only possible with the help of the Mission Control and the Flight Director Gene Kranz which worked together as an excellent team and came up with a richness of ideas to save the

In the article by Jared Diamond, many interesting theories are discussed about Easter Island’s history and decline. Diamond makes connections to the environmental challenges we face today and he compares the catastrophe of Easter Island to our current over consumption of natural resources. While this article makes for an interesting read, much of it is offered from a single perspective and little counter evidence is offered. The author writes in a way that could engage a non-academic audience who may not be interested in counter evidence, or proper referencing. The article lacks credibility due to its narrow scope and conversational diction. At the root of this discussion however, is the notion that the Rapa Nui people were

Memorializing is often the way to remember a very important, intelligent, or rich person who lives above the rest of us. When we memorialize it sets a way to remember someone long after they have passed from life. More often than not those we put in statues and remember are those who change the world for the better or discover something new like Christopher Columbus, and his statue in Riverside Park (Deegan, Jim, source B). Lincoln's memorial isn’t where or had any importance to Lincoln, but it succeeds his most infamous speech he ever had “The Gettysburg Address” (Savage, source A). H. Elroy Johnson a famous lobster trapper, had a statue made but never finished during his lifetime, not until after his death, was the real statue made to memorialize him (Roadside America, source f).

It is important to always remember the names of the people who sacrificed everything for us. "The need for the names to be on the memorial would become the memorial; there was no need to embellish the design further. The people and their names would allow everyone to respond and remember." (Maya

He justifies the importance of the space program by stating, “It’s hard to dazzle us. But for the past 25 years the United States space program has been doing just that.” The space program is justified by that statement because it shows the space program has helped the U.S. learn so much more about, not only the world we live in, but the universe we live in. He goes onto state “we’ve only just begun.” This also justifies the space program by showing, if we’ve already learned this much already, there’s no limit to what we can learn. He then establishes logos by calling the Challenger Seven “pioneers” and space is still a frontier waiting to be explored.This also shows the crew knew the risk, and their sacrifice is still important, and we should commemorate them by continuing space

Have you ever wondered why historians compare the astronauts in Apollo 11 and the Corpse of Discovery? Almost 200 years ago, 35 men were sent on a long journey that lasted about two years. This journey took place after the Louisiana purchase and soon made American history. Then, on July 16th,1969, three astronauts were sent up into space about to make American history. There were some difficulties, but they successfully made it to the moon. These two topics may sound off, but if you really think about it, they are similar in many ways.

Whenever you hear national holiday you may think of it as a day off but it is so much more, a national holiday is a day where we honor and remember someone who has done something truly amazing to our nation, in a good way. For instance you have Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. day, which celebrates Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., He helped end discrimination in our nation. Or you have Presidents day which celebrates all of our presidents who have shaped our nation as we know it. So I am going to be writing about a group of people called the Monument Men of World War 2. They risked their lives to preserve art and educational materials. The reason why I mention them is because I think they should have their own national holiday because, they saved

This happened because, the foreigners took every single firewood they can obtain from the Hawaiian’s land. There was also another incident related to this matter. Every time the Hawaiians have regrown their plants, the foreigners pull them out and took everything for themselves. These facts are more of an economic related problem because, all the incidents are relevant to resource and food related. In the past the there weren't any problems where the Hawaiians did not have any resource, the Hawaiian instead had the system of the Kapu system. The Kapu system was where the Hawaiians will only take what they will need, but now, it was different because, they can’t get the resources they need to

Therefore, in order to fund a comparable program to Apollo, which put men on the moon, NASA would have to spend over half of its annual budget or over twice its current exploration budget on manned space flight for at least a decade, drastically narrowing their focus, and potentially inhibiting discoveries they will make. Figure 1 below shows that spending on manned space flight today is much lower than it was in the early days of NASA, confirming that there would need to be a major budget overhaul to achieve a comparable program

As children, most of us have spent nights staring up at the moon. We wondered whether the surface was spongey or solid, dusty or smooth.  We dreamt about what it would feel like to walk across that grey ground. Sixty years ago, the thought of standing on the moon was just a dream, until a man made history by proving it could be done. Neil Armstrong is considered one of America's heroes. His life experiences were unique, his accomplishments were significant, and the legacy he continues to leave behind is extensive; reaching people around the world.

an example of a place to remember our faults as a society. Memorials are not a waste of money

Although the speech was not released until 1999 it was still effective in achieving its purpose. The release of the speech demonstrates President Nixon and William Safire preparation to notify people of the tragedy that could’ve occurred. Through the speech they were also capable of allowing America to see the importance of the astronauts contribution. Therefore by stating the astronauts contribution comfort was brought throughout the speech to those who were affected by their deaths. The authors use of pathos is prominent throughout the text for example Safire states, “They will be mourned by their families and friends; they will be mourned by their nation; they will be mourned by the people of the world; they will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown.” This shows William Safire’s ability to evoke the emotion of compassion to those who were affected by the death, by stating that not only their friends and family would be affected, he unites people around the world showing that we all have a common ground in this situation. The authors use of logos not only increases his automatic ethos but presents a clear logical point of view which makes the speech stronger. William Safire's use of ethos is shown when he wrote, “ These two men are laying down their lives in mankind's most noble: the search for truth and understanding.” This further shows that the Apollo 11 mission had scientific benefits and although it is tragic these astronauts died they did for a

In the beginning there was only sky the first place and light the first shining body. clouds did not exist. winds did not exist and darkness did not exist there was only light and so it was always day. Wandi the creator then blew some wiriki and the sky people came into being. they built many houses and villages all filled with wanadi's light. The creation method is by blowing

They thought this would be too offensive to World War II veterans.7 If we as Americans would just look further, beyond the picture-perfect ending to the war that we imagine in our minds, we might see the dehumanizing events that we ultimately caused the Japanese. Since we went about building the museum as a way of commemorating this event as a heroic war, the question is, what could we have made known with a serious look at the end of World War II.8

Geologically, Easter Island is one of the youngest inhabited territories on the earth. Its inhabitants, the Rapu Nui, have endured epidemics or disease, famines, slave raids, civil war, cannibalism, and have seen their population crash on more than one occasion. Easter Island is famous for its statues, the Moai. Easter Island is a Chilean territory located in the south eastern Pacific Ocean. It has a population of six thousand and has an area of 163.6 km2 .Easter Island is famous for its 200 stone statues. The Moai as they’re known were made by the local people from basalt stone picks and hard volcano ash. They were made to show remembrance to their gods and ancestors. I will be exploring what caused the downfall of Easter island.
