Science Fiction Paper Rough Draft

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,

“Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. It’s mission, to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations. To go where no man has gone before.” The words rang inside my head as I stood on the stage at 4-H State Roundup as Captain Kirk in my club’s skit “The Enterprise Discovers 4-H.” As I consider my 4-H experience and adventures I realize that my goal in 4-H has been much like the goal of the Enterprise: to explore strange new topics, to seek out new projects and new skills - to learn what many have never learned! My time in 4-H has been just that, an adventure from a nervous twelve year old to a confident seventeen year old. This journey has been about learning how to use my head, heart,

With the recent announcement that the world’s superpowers are about to make Star Wars a reality by looking to space as the next battlefield, it’s only fitting that right around the same time, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has announced the discovery of a real-life Tatooine, or at least a planet that resembles its fictional counterpart from Star Wars.

In the kerfuffle over presidential candidate Ben Carson’s claim that he was admitted to West Point, the news media have pointed out that the “full scholarship” part of his story adds even more confusion because, as the New York Times story today put it, “Technically, West Point does not offer scholarships.

In a galaxy far, far away is where my love resides. Your entertaining characters keep me engaged. The battles between your starships are exciting and keep me on the edge of my seat.

Sometimes barriers tend to show up and deviate a person from reaching their goal and success, which limits the opportunities in this land. As finishing reading this article Kristoff mentioned good points to support his article and show how the land of opportunity is

It took the science fiction genre to a whole new era. Therefore, Star Wars IV is the best science fiction movies of all times.

I was a curious boy. I was born and raised in Nashville TN alongside my older sister. Ever since I was seven, I’ve strived to be an astronaut and explore the expansions of space. After World War III, the United States rebooted their space program, with the funding and resources at an all time high. On the eve of my ninth birthday, I, along with the rest of the world, received the news that One of Jupiter’s moons was reached and prepared for colonization, marking the second space body fit to be home to humans after Mars. Graduating high school with a perfect record, I set my sights on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to jumpstart my career as a NASA Astronaut. Years past, Degrees were acquired, and preparations were made. Through the

Cosmicpaw hadn’t been here for long and she still wasn’t sure if she was going to be staying or not. She had come back to Blizzardclan to check up on the place because she did care about this clan even if she wouldn’t show it. But mostly to see if her father ever came back. It would seem that he may have left for good after her mother, Tama, died. The girl wanted to blame him but how could she? Cosmic hadn’t been a good daughter and wasn’t sure if she would have stuck around for herself. It still hurt that he was out of her life now. No one ever stuck around, which is why she was afraid to stay. Scared to make friends who would see her sour personality and just leave her alone yet again. What terrified her the most was the idea of the voices

The autobiography Rocket Boys tells the true-to-life story of Homer ‘Sonny’ Hickam Jr., a young boy with a love of books, freedom, and rocket science who is living in Coalwood, West Virginia, a small mining town during the mid-20th century. Unlike his football-playing brother Jim, Sonny has no chance of a sports scholarship, yet he desperately does not want to end up stuck in Coalwood like his father, the Coalwood mining company foreman. After almost giving up on a scholarship, Sonny watches the Russian satellite ‘Sputnik’ fly into orbit on television and stays up all night waiting to see it in the sky, inspiring him to send something into the heavens himself. After being inspired by ‘Sputnik,’ Sonny, with the help of a group of boys called

Today, space has been seen by many as the new frontier or the home beyond earth. Society have even taken a step forward through the creation of stories in books and movies based of the idea of humans living in space and the present of alliances. Yet there is still controversy on the need to continue space exploration when our own planet has so many detrimental problems. There is an ongoing debate on whether not the money used for space travel could be better beneficially use for other causes. It is true that space exploration costs billions of dollars a year alone according to NASA current budget, which is constantly increasing. However, what many refuses to understand is that without space exploration many of the innovations that we have today would not have existed. While there have been, many failed attempts involving space exploration that has caused a tremendous amount of money to go down the drain. However, many people fail to realize the benefits of space exploration and the possible future it may
