Personal Narrative: Atlas V Rocket

As humans, we are born with a natural desire to learn and discover. With space exploration, we are able to do just that. In an online essay called “Is Space Exploration Worth the Cost”, Dr. Joan Vernikos,

Underneath the largest rocket in the world, on May 8, starting at 11:00, were sixth graders. The entire sixth grade of South Mckeel Academy slept underneath the Saturn V rocket. Not an experience to forget. Previously, the middle schoolers had taken a brief tour of the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, which houses the space shuttle Atlantis. They would actually get to visit the shops and kiosks on Friday, the day after. Onto the subject of the rocket itself.

This article from the EBSCOHOST database shows that during the 1960s, teachers were great supporters of space travel and would roll in televisions in class so that the students could watch the very first launches made.

On February 8, 2017 at approximately 2023 hours, I responded to 9280 Atlas Drive in reference to report a missing juvenile. Upon my arrival, I made contact with Sara Crosby (complainant) who advised me of the following via verbal and a sworn written statement:

Skipping the last week of school to fly in a plane for the first time across the ocean to another country was a thrill. Frankfurt, Germany was my first plane stop. From there I would board another plane that would take me to Budapest, Hungary, then finally to my last destination, Romania. This was the first time my siblings and I flew on an airplane and it was fascinating because every seat had a mini T.V. behind them and the food was delivered right to our seats. This was a different but exciting experience because we could watch movies whenever we wanted, we got to order whatever food we desired, we didn’t have to sit next to our parents, and sitting next to old people came with a major perk. My siblings and I always got seats next to

“Back when I was in school I was always fascinated, about stars and the planets.”

The witch scowled at them from the floor. “Of course I’m hungry! Why do you think I live in a house of candy?! For one it's very fattening. And it gets people to come here so I can eat them!”

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.

“NASA accepted me!” he started to tear up. “My lifelong dream may be coming true. Being an astronaut.”

August 15th was so memorable for me because it was the day I gave my daughter up for adoption. It was one long and hard process for me to go through, but I knew it was for the best. I needed someone who could give my child the stability and maturity that I knew I couldn't provide at the time. It took me a few weeks, but out of the 5 couples I interviewed, I finally decided to go with a couple named Glen and Lisa to be the proud parents of my baby girl. They had been trying to concieve for the last 8 and a half years, but none of the available treatments seemed to work for them. I chose Glen and Lisa because they had this upbeat energy about them. They were always smiling and being positive, even when the worse situations occured. They were also very well respected throughout their community, and didn't hesitate to help out at shelters, donate anything and everything they could get their hands on, and even volunteer at the community center after school to help kids with their studies. They are inspirational people if

“Damn,” Rodriguez said. “How in the hell could they establish an off-world colony without us knowing?”

It broadened my knowledge of all the spectacles of science and space. It opened my mind to a whole new world of opportunities and comprehension of what goes on in our world. There was a sudden increase in my understanding of the wonders of space and what really goes on in this world around

When I joined my high school's Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps in my freshman year, the model rocketry team was near the bottom of the list of extracurricular activities I was interested in. Instead, I was interested in the cool military-like activities, like drill or marksmanship. As I spent more time in the JROTC, however, I found that the team that I was the least interested in were the ones that suited me the best. The team had simple goals that turned out to be interestingly complicated as I became better at their activities.

It was the summer of my sophomore year. I had just started my first job at Petro Marine, a fuel dock company that, fueled boats, among other things. I can remember the fuel dock manager on my first day showing me where everything was at both of the plants they have in town. Telling me, “you always ask them what kind of fuel they need”, “ask if they need any help with anything”, “make sure you double check what they wanted is what you have down”, and many other important things I had to keep in mind. Looking back now, I can definitely say that, although I was listening to everything he was saying, some of it just went right over my head. But who expects a new hire to remember everything they’re told after listening for half an hour without any working experience?

During this experience with rockets I learned many things throughout the project. When technology continues for these rockets we will be able to soon explore our universe and get a better comprehension about the world our us. We can later identify the aspects of different planets without the use of human travel and find explanations faster than ever. Scientist are still trying build new engine designs that are trying to find ways to accelerate ions or atomic particles to extremely high speeds to create thrust more efficiently. To learn about our outer space, we need
