The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is one of the leading organizations in space technology and research. In the past 60 years, NASA has sent numerous satellites, telescopes and crew modules into space. Despite drawbacks in launch failures and lack of funding, NASA continues to focus on its mission in space exploration and technological advancement. One of NASA’s projects is to explore deep space, in which entails a manned missions to Mars, exploration of the asteroid belt, and
The NASA space program has had enormous impacts on the world. Thanks to NASA the United States has explored thousands of celestial bodies throughout the galaxy with telescopes, rovers, and in the moon 's case, people. In the next decade, NASA plans to expand the United State’s human exploration to more than just the moon. A Mars mission has been in NASA’s eye for quite a while now and with technology advancing every day, they feel it is time to send men and women to the red planet. Some believe the
limits on space travel is ourselves. We have already done this with the outer space treaty prohibiting N.P.T. (Nuclear Pulse Technology) which uses nuclear fuel to travel very efficiently through space, because of this treaty banning potential weapons of mass destruction, (due to the nuclear fuel used in this technology) it isn’t allowed to be used at the risk of it being used as a makeshift nuclear bomb. We don’t need to limit ourselves like this and that is why I am an advocate for space travel and colonisation
should move there someday. The Red Planet, also known as Mars, is the fourth planet from the Sun in our solar system. It is a cold desert planet with flat lands and largest volcanoes such as Olympus Mons. Mars is under the thin and cold atmosphere which may be the evidence that liquid water cannot exist in here. However this mysterious planet gives a clue of the possibility of liquid water existence which is the valleys and channels in Mars. This planet has strong dust storms, seasons, and the average
Advancement of NASA Technology Can the advancement of technology help us to learn more about Mars? The technology that NASA uses makes the mission to Mars possible. Each mission to Mars is part of a progressing sequence of modernization that relies on completed missions for modern technologies and devotes its own innovations to future missions. This sequence enables NASA to continue to push the extent of what is presently achievable, while relying on technologies that are already proven to work as
was a little girl in elementary school, she has always showed interest in space and space travel. Unlike other kids her age, she would look up YouTube videos by Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye and learn about the different planets. She was able to recognize different planets and know a lot about them compare to her peers. Her elementary school teachers were always impressed by her knowledge and her passion to learn about space. Emily particularly loves watching Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s video because he
Mars is a planet that we are still learning and discovering new things about. They have landed rovers on the planet and has discovered water under the surface of the planet. If they were to send humans to mars it would help discover more things that a robot couldn't do that a person can. With a person's view it would be better because the person would be able to describe it and show proof. Having people sent to mars would help us to understand how the climate change affects the way we are able
themselves into the first molecular system, that atmospheric oxygen and ozone were rare, and that electrical activity may have produced monomers. The scientific and technological advancements that have emerged as a result of investigations into the origin of life have profoundly impacted our society and our knowledge of life, space, and cosmochemistry. Early Emergence of Cosmochemistry and Sociopolitical Hindrance The list of cosmic abundances was compiled by Victor Goldschmidt in 1938 and concluded that
the unknown regions of space is a necessary endeavor to secure a future for mankind. Many have argued over whether our extraterrestrial endeavors need to be funded privately by companies or publically by the government. There have been many fears related to this topic including the belief that the privatization space travel will cause science to play second fiddle to profit. This however is simply not true and has been proven time and time again with the advancements industry has made. NASA
But American presence in space is not just a power play; the scientific and technological benefits of space exploration remain its most invaluable quality. In the past, space initiatives have yielded countless meteorological benefits, including the prediction and management of hurricanes and other natural disasters. Surveillance, mass banking and communication, military intelligence, and environmental studies are all areas expanded through American space presence (Dubner n.p.). Not to mention the
