Space Mission Gone Wrong

The case study of the two shuttle disasters, the Challenger occurred on January 28th 1986, and the Columbia occurred on February 1st, 2003. Both majestic and yet mournful due to the loss of life on both mission. The Challenger shuttle flight, OV-099 mission STS-51-L, broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, leading to the deaths of all crew members which included five astronauts and two payload specialists. The Challenger disaster was especially traumatic because young students watched television that were placed in their classrooms so they could watch the launch that day. It was fascinating that a school teacher was on-board as a payload specialist (NASA, 1986.) With a school teacher aboard the flight, it had sparked many interests because at several at young age, understood that education was vital as to why there was such a failure and prevent future disasters.

Placing food scraps in a closed, leak-proof, durable and reusable container, and having it frequently emptied for donation or composting can significantly reduce, and even eliminate these problems. Preventing food waste is an essential and simple part of meeting the food demands of a growing population, just a 15% reduction in food waste in the U.S. could feed 25 million Americans.

Clear away all unused food promptly and safely, preventing the growth and multiplication of bacteria. It also prevents a pest hazard as waste food attracts flies etc. I recycle the clients empty tins and bottles etc if they would like me to.

The raid was a fiasco. About 68 percent of the Canadian force alone was killed, wounded, or captured. Though many people suffered from the raid’s shortcomings, arguably the greatest injustice was meted out to a man who, despite all odds, managed to successfully carry out his vital mission in the raid – Royal Air Force Flight Sgt. Jack

During the Cold War, the rivals--the United States and the Soviet Union--were in what seemed like a competition to determine who had the most advanced technology. This was because that country will be seen as the strongest and the biggest threat to the other. The space race really began officially on October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik I, which was the first artificial satellite ever to be launched in space. This was seen as a danger to the United States, because it meant that the Soviet Union was possible capable of doing other things, possibly against the US. Then the Soviets launched Sputnik II, but this time it had a passenger, a dog named Laika. Though this mission was a failure because poor Laika died within hours

Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who became the sixth man on the moon when he and Alan Shepard helped Nasa recover from Apollo 13's "successful failure" and later devoted his life to exploring the mind, physics and unexplained phenomena such as psychics and aliens, has died in Florida. He was 85.

Furthermore, the cartoon is an inaccurate representation of this narrative because it does leave out a bunch of information. For example, the video completely ignores Native American displacement during the Western expansion. It leaves out how the nation had tension going on with tribes when they decided to side with the British in hopes to drive out white settlers from their land. It also leaves out The Trail of Tears and how the government relocated thousands of Native Americans, where many died. At the end of the cartoon, it states that the U.S. is going to take over as much land as needed, including the moon for more “elbow space”. If I would have created this cartoon or song I would have included details about Space Race. The Space Race

Food waste is an issue that is present at Cornell College. By going into Bon Appetit, the issue becomes clear. Students are given more food than they can eat. To go boxes are not available for students who dine in, and most students do not bring reusable containers with them. Most do not think about how much food they waste. By going over to where we put out plates when we are finished, it is easy to see many students leave a good portion of their meals on the plate. Whether they did not like what they were eating or they were in a hurry and had to leave, big amounts of food are wasted during each meal of the day. Steps can be taken to decrease the overall amount of food that is wasted on campus. Ideas such as smaller plates, vermiculture, competitions, and others can be utilized in the efforts to decrease food waste on campus.

I have recently read the two texts “A Success in Space”, and “Americas New Spacecraft”. They both talk about space and spacecraft. Although, one text has more successful points and strategies than the other. In the excerpt “A Success in Space “it talks about how a small probe helped scientists take a huge leap forward in space exploration , on the other hand the other excerpt “ Americas New Spacecraft” talks about a spacecraft launching into the air to discover critical data for future mission crews.

Although everything went fine and there was no problem on the previous Apollo 11 mission which was the greatest moment in history, the Apollo 13 mission suffered almost catastrophic problems on their way to the moon. The Apollo 13 mission could have nearly ended with the death of the three pilots on the shuttle. With all the ingenuity that they had they had to use to get back to Earth, they could have winded up lost out in space. This event became one of the world's most broadcasted events because they wanted to see that the astronauts got home safely. This entire dilemma was able to give NASA an idea of what to do to make space travel safer.

2001 Space Odyssey The film segment chosen was the final scene from Stanley Kubrik^s 2001 A Space Odyssey made in 1968. As the name would suggest, the film is set almost entirely in the future. Already having projected itself over 30 years into the future, it would be safe to assume that this motion picture offers a wealth of imagery and futuristic vision. It does. It is towards the end of the film, however, that Kubrik offers this to us on a much greater scale. In these few minutes, we are presented with the dawn of a new era: a near incomprehensible evolution of humanity. Through many complex design devices, the set design successfully achieves a vision for the future that is neither dystopian, nor entirely utopian, yet extraordinarily

The Challenger Disaster was one of the biggest events of the 1980’s. It symbolized that space travel is a challenging endeavor which bears it’s own set of risks, especially when the entirety of the shuttle program was plagued with issues up until the Challenger incident. Initially, America put a ton of resources into the space program in order to achieve the goal of winning the Space Race. Once that goal was achieved, America’s space program was scaled down to a fraction of the previous budget (space.com article). Out of the small budget, the shuttle program came into existence. During it’s conception, various bedget cuts and

As with most engineering disasters, the determination of the exact cause of the disaster was not easy. The Apollo 1 mission to this day still remains a mystery. The specific initiator of the fire has not yet been determined, and probably never will be. However, after investigation, a number of factors that signifacntly contributed to the disaster were determined. The fire began because of an electical short, it spread quickly because of the volatile atmospheric conditions and the presence of combustible materials inside the module. The hatch design and NASA's management of the Apollo program may have also been contributing

President Roosevelt issued a Presidential call for volunteers for "A Dangerous and Hazardous Mission". The call was answered by approximately 3,000 American soldiers. The volunteers came from State side units, from the jungles of Panama and Trinidad they came, from the campaigns of Guadalcanal, New Guinea, New Georgia they came, to answer the call, some battle scarred, some new to the ways of war, each different but with one thing in common. They Answered The Call.

In a space shuttle, astronauts can’t have any appliances, such as ovens, microwaves, and refrigerators. Therefore, they can't have any normal food. All of their meals need to be dehydrated, which can be risky. Nevertheless crumbs could break off, enter a machine, and break it. Alternatively, the space explorers don't eat crumby meals. Tortillas are easier to consume and make less of a mess. Since there is zero gravity in space, they used to consume thick liquids from a tube. Now they use fuel cells to rehydrate their food, and drink a variety of drinks.
