Module 1 Assignment

Many critics believe that NASA and space exploration should not be the main focus of the government. However, NASA is not just about flying rockets and putting men into space. There is science and engineering that is being developed to push humanity forward in life. This space program is essential to answering philosophical questions, creating new technology for practical everyday use, the international collaboration with other countries, and the long-term survival of the human

Neil Armstrong 's 1969 lunar landing was one of humanity 's greatest accomplishments. Since then, we have found that an infinite supply of knowledge and resources await us just outside our atmosphere. Today, however, critics are beginning to argue more and more that the cost of space exploration is too high, and therefore new technological developments should be left to the private sector. Whether funded privately or by the government, funding of space exploration is imperative because NASA is essentially the only agency with the technological capabilities to support aircraft manufacturing, air safety and air transportation. Space exploration has also resulted in remarkable innovations that has played a key role in aeronautics research, preventative medicine, and allows scientists to study asteroids, along with other space debris and their impacts on Earth.

Technology has improve dramatically over the past centeries. The AT-6 two-passenger fighter plane can predicct when the hurricans would come and protect and saves peoples lifes. It can also travel near the hurricans and we can collect data about the hurricans and learn them and it lead us to another great invention the weather satellites. The mailbox can help to find the treasure of the past, and the satellite archeology can help to discover the root of our ancestors. The AT-6 two-passenger fighter plane is the most important type of technology that's most advanced for researchers and explorers today.

-Dr. Ben Carson talks about how people get offended so easily, and how people walk around with their feelings on their shoulders.

America’s space program is undoubtedly one of its greatest modern achievements. Few people cannot recall the famous quote “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” or do not know where it came from. The story leading up to the moment a man walked on the moon, as well as everything that came after, is just as interesting and important as the moment itself. The significance of the history of America’s aeronautics programs cannot possibly be overestimated, and their story is one that is incredibly important to the modern world of today. It would not be the nation that it is, with the technology it possesses, without its crucial involvement in the “space race”. If the technology that sent a man to the moon did not exist, our daily lives would be impacted and basic tools would be missing. Beginning with America’s first official aeronautics organization, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (or NACA) and continuing through to the present day and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (or NASA), the story of America’s aerospace programs is interesting and extremely important. It is a story that spans many years and giant leaps in technology, and involves important locations like Wallops Flight Facility and Kennedy Space Center. From the early beginnings of NACA and Wallops, and continuing on to the rise and success of NASA and Kennedy Space Center, aeronautics

How did the Space race improve society with their advanced technology? We know they had advanced in technology that wasn't here 50 years ago, but, how did technology built for space go in our everyday lives? One of the most obvious technologies that we created was Satellite Tv, this is one of the tech breakthroughs that we couldn't think of a life without to keep us entertained. The same goes for computers and laptops. The Space Race made satellites a possibility when they were used to communicate with astronauts before soon they made satellite dishes. NASA invented many pieces of technology that both benefited them in space and people at home watching TV, playing on their video games and even where I'm typing this on... the computer.

Through innovation in technology, the space exploration programs of the United States have achieved several benefits for today’s society. Many studies have shown that space programs have encouraged innovation of various

Technology advancements have had a tremendous impact on American society and culture, since the dropping of the atomic bomb in 1945. Whether it is political, economical, or scientific, technology has transformed American culture into what it is today. Through advancements in the 1950’s up until the 2000’s one can see the dramatic alteration each generation has gone through. From tech boom in the late 1950’s, to the Apollo mission in the late 1960’s, up until the “CNN effect,” one can see how each technological advancement has effected American Society, and why the late 1950’s, to early 1960’s had the most transformative impact on the society we see today.

How did the Space Race improve our society? The space race helped society achieve so many things for so many people. There were new technology inventions, better education, and a greater appreciation of earth. Here are some technological devices that because of the space race there was inventions such as, Satellite tv, laptops, satellite navigation, and non-reflective displays and as of today we still use this type of technology and without the cause of the space race, these inventions would have never been discovered. We have gone from giant full room computers to small handheld devices. As said before, without the space race the technology that has been discovered up to this day they would have never been found.

Look up at the night sky, see the stars, planets and our closest neighbor, the moon. Every human being at one point in his or her life has done this same thing. It is only natural to look up and wonder in awe at whats out there. Human beings are made with an innate desire to expand and explore. In the 1950s when there was no more of Earth to discover, people started looking upwards at the sky to satisfy this internal desire. Hungry for dominance and technological innovation, the United States created NASA and embarked on what would become the greatest voyage in human history. Throughout the second half of the twentieth century, space travel and the technology which powered it advanced far beyond what any prior civilization could imagine. Inspiring in humanity hope for a future not on Earth. An analysis of the effects of the NASA space program on the United States reveals a radical shift in educational policies, an influx of new an innovative technologies, and a renewed motivation and hope for the future.

I argue one of the most significant outcomes of post WWII era was the Space Race during the 1950’s of The Cold War. The outcome of the Space Race saw advancements in technology that allowed humans to reach the outer depths of the universe. This is a major contribution to the 21st century; however, I assert that one of the most fundamental and perhaps ignored redefining impact of the Space Race was that it improved the educational system and put more emphasis on learning and research in all disciplines.

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

Innovation breeds new technologies and sciences that constantly reform our way of life. And space exploration is a field that is always working on the bleeding edge of our knowledge, consistently pushing the boundaries for what we can achieve. Many people know about the successful landing of the Mars rover, or the Apollo missions to the Moon, and maybe about a few of the technologies that have come from space research, but do these benefits of space exploration outweigh the costs? And why should anyone care about what goes on hundreds of miles above our heads, when there are dozens of problems that already need addressing right here on Earth? That is, how does space exploration impact our daily lives and why is it important in comparison to other major global issues today? Well, while many arguments can be made regarding the low budget other organizations have in comparison to NASA, or some of the future problems plaguing the industry, a few things are for certain: the contributions that have come from space exploration, and the benefits society earns from exploration itself, have a strong impact on day to day life, and an even greater impact on a global scale.

Technology is defined as anything that makes life easier. There are times where technology can make life easier just as a phone can make your life easier by allowing you something to use to stay in touch with those people that are around you. There are also times where technology can make life harder because it is used against nature and can ruin places. Some of those times are: the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, China’s environmental degradation, World War II, and the second Industrial Revolution. These are all times in history where the environment took a turn for the worst because of the newest technology that was created and used.
