Shawn Lee #1234338 ESS 102 AI The Dangers of Space Travel Science Fiction Synopsis The earth’s governments have determined that extraterrestrial colonization is an urgent priority for the successful continuation of the human race. In order to advance this agenda, they conceive Project Eden, a program to send a group of people to build an independent civilization on the extraterrestrial planet. Eve-278B is one of the 10,000 test subjects in Project Eden. Upon her birth, she was selected and taken
curious scientist wishing to learn more about the world we live in, space represents the hopeful unknown. It truly is, as pop culture has entitled, the final frontier. It holds answers to both the past on how our universe began as well as our future for when Earth can no longer sustain the human race. Space travel and exploration is therefore significant because of the information we can gather from it. Throughout the history of space travel there have been two distinct classes of exploration: human and
has to travel to a meeting on the moon. The journals each speak of a different leg of his journey, from the journey up, the accommodations, the meeting, and the return flight. His company deals with satellite orbit altitude rights, and must cooperate with a company based on the moon, who has its own satellites orbiting the moon. In this way, I will be able to discuss many topics; possible space travel sustainability options, long-term living on the moon, return to earth’s atmosphere, space weather
Long-term Space Travel and its Effects on the Human Body Synopsis: Humans are planning more space missions to Mars and deeper into the solar system. These manned missions require longer periods of time in space than any human has ever spent, as well as traveling farther from Earth’s protection than ever before. There has been very little research conducted regarding the effects of prolonged space travel on the human body. This paper examines how space travel will likely alter bodily functions. The
In the year 2070, humans have been exploring the possibility of space migration for the past few decades. As a consequence, Earth’s orbit has a lot of trash, lost equipment, and dead spacecraft’s that were left in space after the mission was finished. However, a big accident (will expand later) happened and created an enormous amount of space debris surrounding Earth’s orbit. This has stunted the progress and the planning of Space migration and a team of the world’s best scientists and engineers
Meghan Stavig ESS102 Research Paper 1/17/2015 Effects of Long Term Space Flight We’ve all heard about the rigorous mental and physical tests that astronaut candidates must go through in order to be considered to be sent into space; but what is the methodology behind them? What most laymen’s’ overlook when they think ‘Astronaut’ is the extreme physical and mental taxation that is associated with space flight. Astronauts will have to endure long-term isolation, monotony, limited mobility and close
English 099 December 6, 2012 Space Exploration! 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
Thomas Kern ESS102 Research Paper Space Debris in Low Earth Orbit An unfortunate consequence of man exploring off planet has been the steady growth of junk from derelict and unused spacecraft. According to NASA there are over half a million pieces of junk in low earth orbit. Because these pieces of junk travel at orbital speeds of around 17,500 miles per hour, they posses tremendous amounts of energy and are capable of doing substantial damage (NASA). Most of the dangerous hard to track debris
propulsion system as described by Dr. Harold White 's research at NASA. As humans reach out further into space, the realities associated with astronomical dangers emerge. Obvious dangers such as lack of oxygen or extreme temperatures can be relatively easy to overcome, while the subtle and less understood dangers require special consideration. Currently one of the least understood hazards of space travel is radiation. Although invisible to the naked eye, its effects on the human body can be lethal. Special
As humans our desire to visit space has never ceased, but our scientific advances have so far only allowed manned visits to the moon. There are many political factors that influence the ongoing attempts to engineer space tourism and future missions to Mars, which has been in the works since the twentieth century. High costs and risks involved in spaceflight due to the longevity in space and the effects of cosmic rays have been many of the setbacks in making it a reality. The United States is currently
