The 102 Space And Space Travels

Gamma: this is a ray of electric radiations this is a part of electromagnetic spectrum. In the high energy and low wave frequency part. When ionising gamma rays pass through gamma because they are weak, travel through space and vacuum.

With all of the television shows showing instant arrival, and teleportation, how come they aren’t possible yet? A problem that some people are trying to solve is, instant space travel, well almost instant. There are a few smaller problems, hidden within this larger main point; to be more specific, three problems. The main paragraphs will discuss the problem and the possible solution. What are the problems, that are in the way of fast, safe, and efficient space travel? They are as follows, Price, Safety, and the engine. The ability to travel through the stars, was always a dream of many children, but now, with the technology that is possessed, what is stopping that dream from becoming a reality? There may be difficult hurdles to go over, but the solutions aren’t as far as one might think.

Science fiction gives positive perspective to public toward the scientific development. The novel devices shown on movies and television programs make people to build their own fantasy and desire scientific improvement. For example, the movie Back to the Future is recently reviewed by portraying October 2015. Even though the 2015 in the movie and the reality was not exactly the same, it showed people how much development we have been achieved until now. In addition, the devices shown in the movie is still making people fascinated and alluding more possibility in the future innovation. The science fiction describes what the public imagine, leading to increasing demand on science improvement.

Science fiction (SF) is a discourse in which the stories often explore fictional advancements and new discoveries in science and technology that presently seem implausible. SF alternately expands and redefines the familiar boundaries of our world, rendering possible things that would otherwise be impossible (Hughes 220). Compared to a genre, a discourse does not have a series of repeated tropes that apply to all its literature, it is instead united by some common core elements. SF is not just mere-storytelling and entertainment, rather, it is based in reality; in the real and familiar world we live in, however, it then goes beyond this reality to explore a potential new science, it also discusses the aftermath and consequences of this new development,

August 20, 1969. The scene is the front yard of a cozy suburban home. Little Thomas lies in the grass and gazes to the stars. Only a month before, Neil Armstrong uttered the famous words, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” These words inspired Little Thomas. He gazes to the stars. Gazes and dreams, dreams of a time when he would bounce between stars, moons, and planets like there was no distance between them at all. Thomas thinks, “I can’t wait! I’m gonna be an astronaut! I’m gonna go to the Moon! To Mars! I’m gonna go all the way to Pluto! Distance is gonna mean nothing, by the time I’m all grown up, I’m gonna be able to go anywhere in the universe I wanna!”

“Electromagnetic radiation is created when the atom called electrons that cause it to move. radio waves are at the lowest range of the EM spectrum 30 billion herts.” “Gamma rays are in the range of spectrum with with the wavelengths of less than 100pm.” “Ultraviolet light is in range of the EM spectrum between visible light and x ray.” “X rays are classified in two types hard and soft x rays.” “Infrared is in the range of the EM spectrum between microwaves and visible light” (What is Electromagnetic

In the photoelectric effect light was transmitted onto a metal surface, with certain conditions the light could knock off electrons, its behavior could only be explained by considering light as a particle aka a photon. In Compton scattering the radiation of high frequency waves off of electrons could only be explained by considering the radiation in terms of quantified particles. So is light a wave or a particle? Throughout the years the debate has gone back and forth and back and forth. In the 19th century Leon Foucault Established that light moves slower in water than in air which is in favor of wave theory in the same century Maxwell proved that light was an electromagnetic wave. But in the 20th century Max Planck discovers that light is quantified and not continuous and Albert Einstein reestablishes particle theory with his mathematical proof of the photoelectric effect. Interestingly a good example of the ongoing struggle is the fact that J. J. Thompson got the Nobel Prize in 1906 for proving that electrons were particles, but his son received the prize in 1937 for proving electrons to be waves.

Space: the final frontier. The opening words to the TV series Star Trek seemed to carry the hopes and dreams of a generation. After all, their generation had done what seemed impossible – land men on the moon and bring them back to earth safely. Anything seemed possible – even sending men to mars. Today, our space program is just a shell of what it once had been. No longer do we have the means to send man to the moon – in fact, we don’t even have the means to send man into orbit anymore. In 2011, President Obama approved a proposal to cut the budget of NASA, effectively shutting down the Space Shuttle Program. This trend is anything but new – the percentage of money we spend on NASA has been decreasing year after year. In 2013, NASA’s budget was $16.8 billion, a paltry 0.49% of our total federal budget (and less than the citizens of the U.S. spend on pizza per year). This is a sharp decrease from even a decade before, when NASA spending accounted for 0.68% of the budget, and incredibly distant from NASA’s all time high percentage of our budget – 4.41%, in 1966. Many argue that the cut in funding is justifiable; after all, the nation is over $18 trillion in debt, and any way to reduce the deficit is helpful, especially for non-vital programs. However, I believe that NASA should receive more federal funding to continue expanding and funding research and space exploration programs, as the benefits of the space program outweigh the amount spent.

Space, an unknown and endless abyss full of mystery and wonder. A beautiful domicile that, as humans, peaks our curiosity. As the saying goes, “curiosity killed the cat”, when it comes to traveling to space, humans are slowly dying from their curiosity. Space is a dangerous place, full of mental and physical altering effects. Astronauts, the deep sea divers of space, must train for years to get use to the effects of space. Space is virtually the exact opposite than the home we know as Earth. Humans, along with all organisms on Earth, were created on Earth for Earth and when we dare explore a place without the same environment, we are asking for complications. When a human is exposed to the vacuum of space, we die within minutes. Over the years scientists have developed technologies that help protect us against the deadly features of space, but in reality it only shields us from about fifty percent of all of the harmful effects. Weightlessness changes us physically, while isolation alters us mentally. Space changes the life of any human including the way we travel from place to place, our sleeping and eating habits, and the amount of exercise needed. Traveling to space has many effects on humans both mentally and physically, which is why they endure intensive training and need technology to survive, but even so, die slowly in its clutches.

Electromagnetic radiation is a type of energy that can take up multiple forms, one of those form being light (visible light). Electromagnetic radiation consist of electromagnetic waves, one reason why we used

Have you ever seen a cartoon or show on TV about space and thought, “That is foolish”? The human imagination of space exploration is intriguing. Some may use that silly cartoon as inspiration and pursue a career involving space. Once the imagination is put into action, many beneficial products and technologies can and have come into existence that will and have change how we live and see space. To some, space exploration is inconsequential as if it will lead nowhere in life. However, space exploration is beneficial for its technological advances due to the imagination sparked from it, the desire for more knowledge about it and the pursuit of space exploration in itself.

After watching the movie Apollo 13, all I can take away is irritation, several unanswered questions, and poorly explained minute details relating to traveling in space. While some details are easy to understand, such as the effects of gravity on weight and the effects of space travel on the human body, many instances of scientific references are made under the presumption that the viewer understands what is being said. Along with the inability to detail the process of achieving space travel, the details they did include were often inaccurate, for example the display of evident sexism. While this movie did roughly indulge in the chronicles of previous space missions and the tension between the United States and Russia in the on going “Space Race”, there is very little mention of the science behind the mission, making this more of a poorly represented history movie than a scientific examination into the world of NASA, the Kennedy Space Center, and the mission of Apollo 13.

The visible spectrum is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to (can be detected by) the human eye. Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light. http://www.edinformatics.com/math_science/electromagnetic_spectrum.htm

light through free space. An example of this radiation would be through light or x-rays. The last

A famous quote that came from a famous event in time. On April 13, 1970, one event changed a space expedition to space in an instant. Space Travel seems difficult already, but when you add an explosion in the mix, it becomes a whole new game. Apollo 13 one of the Apollo missions that will not be forgotten. Three American astronauts hoping for a great trip to space until their oxygen tank exploded and their spacecraft was ruined. Thankfully everything turned out fine in the end. This all led to some serious problems and a four day exploration to get back to earth safely.
