Titan Exploration : Past Will

On July 14, 1990, the Voyager 1 space probe took a picture from 6 billion kilometers away of, which at first appeared to be, uninteresting bands of assorted colored lights. But, when you squinted at the bands you found an easily missed pale dot, less than a pixel small. That tiny little speck was planet Earth. Carl Sagan, the legendary astronomer, had, in fact, requested for a picture of Earth from Voyager 1. He captioned it Pale Blue Dot and authored a book of the same name. In it, he wrote: “That's here. That's home. That's us. On it every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward,…

Arthur C. Clarke, an award-winning author, in his novel, 2001: A Space Odyssey, suggests that human evolution would not have been possible without the help of extra-terrestrial beings and the use of tools. Clarke is able to support his suggestions by narrating the influence the extraterrestrials have on humans and by describing the importance of the tools humans utilize. His purpose was to share his take on the final frontier in order to help readers make their own opinions and conclusions on evolution and deep space. Clarke utilizes a direct and scientific tone with his audience in a way to help them follow along, so that they don’t lose focus on the important themes throughout the novel.

Our lab assignment this week was to research the Cassini/Huygens mission currently being conducted by NASA and the European Space Agency. After learning about the mission, we need to list some of the information it has provided us. As well as discuss what we have learned about Saturn, its rings and the moon system. Choose at least one picture and explain it. Although, Saturn has always been my favorite planet, I didn’t know much about this mission. The lab proved fun and interesting to learn about all the many discoveries of Saturn.

There are many aspects of history that are considered to be controversial. The Age of Exploration was considered to be a positive achievement because of the discovery of the new world known as America. Although people believed this, there were a lot of things going on in the background that were very negative. The age of exploration should be considered a crime against humanity because of the deadly diseases, ruthless conquistadors, and the endless slavery. The Europeans who traveled from Europe to the Americas carried many diseases with them that affected the Native Americans drastically.

“NASA has made statements recently that suggest that the discovery of aliens is a matter of when, rather than if.” (newsweek.com). NASA even announced an indication that there may be life on one of Saturn’s sixty two moons. “The Cassini spacecraft orbiting Saturn has already detected underground saltwater oceans on the moon Enceladus and Australian National University astrophysicist Brad Tucker says he is “ninety-five percent” sure that NASA will announce it has discovered changing levels of methane in the atmosphere – a phenomenon driven by organic life, at least here on Earth.” (nypost.com). “Jupiter's tiny moon Europa is scarred with brown veins that are suspected to

child or adolescent having a weak frontal lobe their brains work differently opposed to those of the same age, so brain exercises have a tremendous benefit for them (5). Another simply activity that can benefit a child with ADHD is simply rocking in a rocking chair as they do a task, such as homework, to allow them to vent excess energy therefore allowing the child to pay closer attention to the task at hand (4).

Today is March 13th, 2114, just over 110 years since the first Mars rovers landed on the surface of Mars. Yet, little progress has been made in developing a human colony amidst the many issues that plague humans attempting to survive on the surface. Many people look back on the incidents of 2078, 2092, and most recently 2106 as reasons to not continue to explore Mars. Each one of those colonies of 300 people lasted less than a year before the last human was dead and the colony was considered a failure. Most people look back at the 2106 incident as reason to not settle on Mars. On February 23rd, 2106, a blast of Solar Energetic Particles with an energy of nearly

The Age of Exploration was a period from the early 1400s and continuing into the early 1600s, during which European ships traveled around the world to search for new trade routes to feed growing capitalism in Europe. The most commonly sought after new trade route was to the Spice Islands, which are now the Indonesian archipelago, in southern Asia.

We made it! Well, to be honest, this was expected considering how careful they are down at mission control, but I couldn’t help being a little nervous. It’s a strange feeling, leaving your home. In my case, I left my planet, so I guess it is a different feeling, but it still feels the same, damn it. This really is a different feeling than being on earth, our bodies are weightless and I feel that my skin has started to bloat. It is too bad that I did not get to see the moon, as it was on the other side of the planet in this stage of its orbit.

Protagonist: Karl Zambendorf a crook who attends the expedition to see if there is Extrasensory perception in different planets.

On Friday, April 17 Apollo 13 approached Earth. The astronauts got into the Odyssey and went through the Earth’s atmosphere. The connection with Mission Control got cut off for four minutes. They saw the sky turned red to pink and then to finally blue. The parachutes opened and the ship floated down to earth. Everyone was admired and surprised with the outcome of this mission. Even though they didn’t complete their original mission they got home safely. It was a successful

The most dramatic moment in the interplanetary New Horizons spacecraft's nine-plus year mission came today (see video below) when, after a planned, many-hour silence, it phoned home and all systems were confirmed healthy. Thirteen hours after its flyby of the farthest planet in the solar system, Pluto, New Horizons confirmed that all was well and reams of data had been recorded.

The evolution of the universe and our behaviour throughout history. I will set out to consider Laura Moriarty: Plateau (2011) and Mary Mattingly: Pull detail, (2013) in relation to “Minimal Ethics for the Anthropocene,” Joanna Zylinska, (2014). I will consider our human responsibility for the world and show the changes and composition of life through human relations and ethic towards the universe. And can we re-evaluate our minimal ethics, while there’s still time for changes.

I chose the film 2001: a Space Odyssey for few reasons: The beginning dramatic lunar eclipse with the Strauss’s soundtrack playing. The apes looked real and the sound of the apes seemed real. We see ape men and their main preoccupation is the struggle for survival. They have limited knowledge of the world around them. Actually, all the apes were actors, except for the two baby chimpanzees. The sunrise and “the dawn of man” appeared across the screen. The ape men are afraid and jump around but the leader approaches the object and reaches out to touch it but at the last moment withdraws. Finally, the ape men encountered with this strange piece of masonry. reaches out to make contact with it again and this time he successfully touches

Reflecting Upon Remember the Titans Segregation between blacks and whites was a very tough problem to get over in our country (one that we have been struggling with for centuries), but I never realized that it was still around a few decades ago- in the 1970's! Today, most kids that I know of, including myself, are very comfortable having friends of a different race, but as I have found out from watching the movie, Remember the Titans, that was not the case a short time ago. This movie is very powerful and motivating because it talks about overcoming prejudice and segregation of blacks and whites in America in the early 1970's in a small town in Virginia.
