Types Of An Astronaut Watney

I have been researching my future job and here is what I found. Becoming an astronaut is genuinely difficult on the grounds that they want you to at least have a bachelor's degree in engineering, biological science, physical science or mathematics. NASA wants people with at least three years of experience. You need an extremely well physical condition comparable to 20/20 vision with or without corrective lenses. A blood pressure no more than 140/90 in a sitting position. You also need to have a height between 62 and 75 inches.

NASA has been around for 50 years, and they already sent over 200 missions into space. Each mission has its own discoveries and its own flaws. They all changed the way we look at our solar system, galaxy, and the universe. Some of them were successful and some were not. These missions have helped NASA a lot. Curiosity, Apollo 11, and Hubble have helped the world by discovering new things, making spinoffs, and successfully completing their mission.

The Apollo 13 mission was a significant historical event, because of the dangerous repercussions that followed the explosion of the oxygen tank on Apollo 13. The story in which the astronauts Lovell, Swigert, and Haise surviving these errors during the flight is truly incredible. In the movie Apollo 13, the creators depicted most of the events involving the crew’s adventure to and from space quite accurately. Although creating most events successfully the creators of Apollo 13 failed in many regards when it came to the creation of the plans the crew used to survive, and the small details that were missed, involving the crew in the process of flying the space shuttle and surviving the accident.

In an article on the PBS News hour Reagans speechwriter Peggy Noonan said regarding the speech that the President had a daunting task “to do a speech that is aimed at those who are 8 years old, and those who are 18, and those who are 80 without patronizing anybody.” (Barajas). Reagan did just that by speaking to the values of the crew and their pioneering vision. I also believe that by expressly comforting the children he comforts the parents and grandparents by eloquently saying what everyone wanted to tell their children and giving them a continued hope so that one day twenty years later they would still want to be astronauts.

In order to be an astronaut, you need to have a degree in science and engineering. In fact, you must be in top condition in order to go into space. You must be free from diseases, and you cannot depend on drugs and alcohol. On the other hand, Lewis only picked men who were in the military. He did not pay attention to their condition when he was choosing his men. However, his men had never been out west. This was a big disadvantage because no one knew what could of been out there. On the other hand, Neil Armstrong, one of the astronauts on Apollo 11, is an experienced astronaut. This was a advantage for the other astronauts. In comparison, both of the groups were able to bring back some amazing things. The astronauts on Apollo 11 were able to bring back lunar samples for scientists to study. Lewis and Clark sent back plant samples and a prairie dog for Jefferson.

Although space exploration is now being emphasized on and invested in, what does this do to benefit earth or even every individual who lives on Earth? Many writers, engineers, mathematicians, and chemists can agree that space exploration is going to provide more research for medicine and environmental factors. Others may also argue that the risks of exploring another planet will be too damaging because the life or atmosphere as it is will not be the same after humans have made their print on it.

Today, ‘astronaut’ is a common career heard when children are asked what they want to be when they grow up. However, this was not the case in the early 20th century or even in the 1950s. The reason for this change was the space race, an extension of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States for superiority of space technology. It all started in October 1957 when Russia launched Sputnik I, the first artificial satellite, into orbit. The launch of Sputnik shocked the American public and brought about the beginnings of the space age, eventually leading to the founding of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the launch of Explorer I, and finally a man on the moon. Although the moon landing ended the space race,

For the pre-assessment, I will hold a discussion with the students on what they know about astronauts, including what is needed for travel to the moon, how astronauts stay safe and what tools they use on the

In 2035, NASA astronaut Mark Watney, a botanist and mechanical engineer, has been left stuck on Mars after the crew of the Ares 3 mission were forced to evacuate from their Martian habitat (in Acidalia Planitia due to an intense dust storm with high winds. Watney was impaled by satellite dish during the evacuation and believed dead. His injury are minor, but with no way to contact Earth, Watney must rely on his own skills to survive. He begins a log of his experiences for those who might discover it long after his death. Watney begins growing potatoes in the crew's Martian habitat (or Hab) and burns hydrazine to make water. NASA discovers that he is alive when satellite images of the landing site show evidence of his activities; they begin working on ways to rescue him, but withhold the news of his survival from the rest of the Ares III crew, on their way back to Earth aboard the Hermes spacecraft, so as not to distract them.

The supply of oxygen that is now gone was their main source of all there oxygen, electricity, light and water without them four main things to survive it's unbelievable how they survived. As lovell radioed back to the control center and explained the problem the mission was a failed mission. While

During this traumatic period in time there were three astronauts that had to suffer through that

Chuck Noland, the Fed-Ex employee, had survived the plane crash and was found 4 years later. He was rescued on a raft by a cargo ship. He had lost a huge amount of weight over the past 4 years and has changed drastically. Before he ventured out onto the ocean, he had a good amount of food, water, and a small shelter, but was all lost due to a storm he encountered on the way.

In the past they would look for at least a 1,000 hours in flight time, currently they are looking for someone who has at least 3 years of experience in their specific field. There is no specific ability that you must meet to be looked at however; NASA tends to look at applicants who “undertake whatever they do with the full force of their abilities to reach a level of excellence.” When the top 100 applications are selected personality is what matters the most. The applicant must undergo a personal interview with a board of NASA executives to decide whether they like you or not. Personality is something that is a must when you are chosen to go up in space. Being in a small space for up to six months with six or so other people requires the astronaut to have good personable skills that will make the mission go as planned.
