Space exploration is always a human’s dream and it is reflected through countless novels and movies. However, most of them are always about human’s bravery and intelligence who outsmart other aliens and rarely the other way around. Solaris is one of the few exceptions as it shows human is at the mercy of an alien. What makes Solaris special is that in Solaris human is able to archive “miracle” only by submit to the alien. In Solaris, Kelvin despite all the odds is able to archive something that beyond human understand: an “eternal love”. On the surface, the ending of Solaris is a story “reincarnation”, where Kelvin who suffered over the guilt of his dead wife has the “chance” to begin everything again with “Rheya”. However, beneath that “happy ending” is remarkable story of Kelvin archiving “eternal love”. Solaris’s ending may confuse viewer for the first time as it contains details that are misleading the viewer. The ending begins when Kelvin is forced to either to stay or evacuate from the space station. Then Solaris shows us the scene of Kelvin return to Earth with Gordon and some views of his everyday life that closely resemble the one in the beginning. However, the confusion begins as immediately after, Solaris reveals footage of Kelvin staying behind on the space station and waiting to be consumed by the expanding Solaris. While waiting for the demise to come, Kelvin is greeted by an unexpected “visitor”: Gibarian’s son. The innocence boy stretches out a hand to
Humans have dreamed of leaving the earth and traveling space for many years, and up to this day they have taken many steps in the right direction. Yet, with every new frontier they approach, new problems loom over the horizon. Some of these problems arise right here on Earth. Some of the issues have been resolved, such as escaping the forces of gravity to reach outer space. Most of the problems are far more arduous and the solutions need more time to be worked out properly. In “The Coming Schism” by James E. and Alcestis R. Oberg, they posit that humans can colonize space. Humans need to buckle up and build the technology which will help to solve problems that would arise to
Space exploration needs to start happening again because the US is starting to fall behind other countries such as Russia and India. Neil Degrasse Tyson says in his book, Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier, “The Soviets sent the first multi-person crew and the first international crew into orbit. They made the first spacewalk, launched the first space station, and were the first to put a manned space station into long-term orbit” (Tyson 122). The Soviets beat the US to everything other than the moon. The Space Race was a competition between mainly the US and Russia. Neil Degrasse Tyson says in his book, Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier, “the USSR held that high ground until 1969, when, courtesy of von Braun and colleagues,
The Crucible is consisted of multiple daughters who go turning on people of their village of Salem to get all the attention off of them for their interactions with the devil. Many people become accused and are either sentenced to death or proven innocent that they had not been dealing with the devil. Some of the main characters are Danforth, Abigail, Parris, Proctor, Tituba, and Thomas Putman. People of this village are Puritans who believe witches are among them to make them do the wrong things in order to displease the Lord. For example, John Proctor cheats on his wife, who is very sick, with the young lady called Abigail. They have had strong feelings for one another, but if Proctor was to be caught committing adultery with this young woman he would be greatly punished for his actions. During Arthur Miller’s play, Miller demonstrates that it was Abigail Williams’ flaws – (lust, jealousy, and mendacity) led her to be responsible for the tragedy of the witch-hunt in Salem.
Michael Griffin, and “The Journey” a poem by Mary Oliver all show and describe different journeys. Characters in the Odyssey go on a physical journey to save their home and then to return home. Michael Griffin in, “The Real Reasons We Explore Space”, explains that people go on mental journeys to satisfy a natural human curiosity. The speaker in “The Journey” goes on a mental journey to free themselves from being subject of codependence.
It’s cold up there. Cold and inhospitable. It is not easy, and it will take time. These are things the first humans in Africa must have thought of journeys northward. And yet, people still went. They colonized the globe in all its varied environments. When humans first bred dogs and horses, they did not do so to send them into unexplored land in our steed. We did not build crow’s nests on ships to observe and not go. Why is even a question whether humans should go to space? Space is the final frontier that the universe has to offer, and humanity would be remiss not to explore it with their own hands. It’s important to frame the debate. Succinctly, should
Space exploration has exploded in the past 56 years. From the first successful satellite mission in 1961, to the first mission space walk in 1969 a to the first time lettuce was grown and eaten in space in 2015. These are just the beginning steps towards potential space exploration and advancing technology to the maximum.
Is Space Exploration Worth It? Create a well-structured argument either for or against space exploration. Your response to this question must include: A thesis statement giving your position. You should qualify your thesis statement to make it specific.
In the first place,“NASA’s Curiosity is robotic rover that landed on mars in 2012. Since then, Curiosity has been roaming Mars, collecting data and looking for signs of microbial life. We should NOT spend valuable resources on space exploration.
Humans and other species navigate by determining their current position and planning a course to a desired goal. Navigation normally occurs in the 1-g environments experienced on Earth, but a new environment was added as the Soviet Union and the United States competed for supremacy during the space race of the mid 20th century. Outer space posed many new problems, including the challenge of navigating in microgravity. The first human in space was Soviet pilot and cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin in 1961, but the first reports of gravity-related problems surfaced with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Apollo program during the 1960s and 70s (Homick, Lyndon, & Miller, 1975). With current plans for expanded space exploration, it
"The important achievement of Apollo was a demonstration that humanity is not forever chained to this planet, and our visions go rather further than that, and our opportunities are unlimited." (Armstrong, 1976) When Neil Armstrong took his first step out of the lunar module and onto the moon he astonished the world and brought all of mankind together. The investigation of space continued in all of its joys, the completion of the International Space Station, and its sorrows, which included the loss of the Challenger and Columbia crews, but humankind never lost its rapture in the universe or the desire for discovery. The continuation of astronautical research and humanity’s
As a kid, I was fascinated with the sky above. The glowing orb that would emerge from the horizons at night and dissipate by the sun and all its bright power. I would ask my dad what those twinkling lights that shined bright as diamonds were. He'd told me that every star was crafted with its own purpose; its own mission for its life. I asked what our purpose was. His response was: "To visit them."
There are a few examples of female who have succeed in this industry. According to her to be considered as an astronaut, every candidate need to spend a year in training and should competent both in classroom subjects and in the field before moving to advanced training. The candidates need must not only be familiar with his/her task, he/she must know how everythingon the shuttle works. This is to avoid abd things from happening if one crew becomes ill. Facts on staying in space is also provided in this book. Crucial part in this book for this research is how the book depict the idea of to get into astronauts program. What is required either physically or mentally is recorded in the book. Then, the book walk through to the training program. The facts and knowledge is been relate to real experience by the astronauts. Pilot’s qualification are stated in the book. This will come handy to the research. The book finally wrapped by achievements of all the female astronauts mentioned
Carl Sagan once said “every planetary civilization will be endangered by impacts from space, every surviving civilization is obliged to become spacefaring--not because of exploratory or romantic zeal, but for the most practical reason imaginable: staying alive... If our long-term survival is at stake, we have a basic responsibility to our species to venture to other worlds.” The National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA, is executing Sagan’s words every day. President Dwight D. Eisenhower created NASA in 1958 with the purpose of peaceful rather than military space exploration and research to contribute to society. Just 11 years after the creation, NASA put Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon, the first humans to
Space travel has become a growing event in the world and has assisted in advancing our knowledge as well as providing information about the solar system. As the human race continues to grow, the need for resources continues to grow as well and finding new places to inhabit as well as being able to find new resources is becoming more important. The issue that needs to be addressed currently is the air quality onboard the space habitats, stations and vehicles. There have been advancements in that section, but new challenges arise that have negative impacts on the crew. Despite these issues, however, there is not an immediate need to stop space exploration as long as these issues are being worked on.
“There is beauty in space, and it is orderly. There is no weather, and there is regularity. It is predictable. Just look at our little Explorer; you can set your clock by it—literally; it is more accurate than your clock. Everything in space obeys the laws of physics. If you know these laws, and obey them, space will treat you kindly.”
