V2 Rocket Persuasive Essay

Stars, mankind has been staring up at them for thousands of years. Over those many years dreams and mythology have been created to explain those lights in the heavens. Mankind grew sick of just staring, and decided to find ways to discover more about it. Eventually over hundreds of years mankind has, been able to send men to the moon, launch satellites into space, and even send rovers to Mars. These feats of science would have been unimaginable hundreds of years ago, and to others that heard of it was only science fiction. With all these accomplishments, it seems humanity has a bright future of further discovery, but a recent development has surfaced regarding Space Exploration. That debate regards the future of space Exploration, and whether or not It should be continued through NASA or private companies. Various opinions have come from all over the scientific and astronomy concerned world. Others side that NASA should continue its lead into the future, because of its contributions to discovery and the scientific world. Others blame that NASA’s lack of progress in previous projects has lead to a disbelief of Nasa, and a turn to Private industries due to their smaller budgets and recent success. Even some see a balanced future of NASA working with private companies, and even healthy competition that will allow a faster progress into the future. Mankind has always had the desire to reach the unreachable, and it cannot go forward

“Hey guys! This is the last communication you shall receive from me. I now walk out to live amongst the wild. Take care, it was great knowing you” (Qtd. In Krakauer 69). After graduating from Emory University, Christopher McCandless abandoned everything, gave his entire savings account to charity, and then hitchhiked to Alaska to live in the wild. In the novel, Into the Wild, Was McCandless justified in shunning society? McCandless was justified in shunning society because he simply wanted to find himself and be independent without any distractions from his friends or family.

The Space Race was a 20th century competition between two Cold War rivals, the United States of America and the Soviet Union. This competition was held between 1955 until 1972 and enabled these two rivals to advance their ability of spaceflight and their exploration out of the Earth’s reach. The competition covered several ways in taking human life out of Earth’s orbit and to successfully bring them back home in the process. The Space Race brought about several controversial topics relating to how the USSR copied the methods conducted by the United States, how the United States retaliated against the USSR and the man landing was purposely staged or not. These factors contribute to a large extent on how the space race was won. The Space Race

Although space junk may seem trivial,it is in fact crucial in terms of today's concern over everyday life. Apparently Nasa has just been throwing it out the window into our atmosphere, which is causing a gigantic problem. Some experts say there are just some things like satellites they cannot take back to earth. They say that they would only do it in in rare cases. If they take the things up there how come they can't take back it down to earth. They are trying to find a way to bring the trash back.

“Vasquez, thirty miles!” I yelled as I passed the counter’s desk. My legs are on fire, my heart is pounding, and my shirt is drenched in sweat. The sun is beaming, the temperature has reached 95⁰F and I’ve been riding my bike non-stop for three hours earning twenty dollars an hour. I would always find myself in this scenario every September when I attended High School, this was the Saint Jude Bike-a-thon.

Exploration is a key aspect to ensuring the constant and consistent development of the human race, but is it really necessary to branch out into the cosmos rather than focusing on the Earth itself. Expanding is essentially the ability to understand the unknowing and to grasp unworldly ideas, but without the means to reach those goals: justification, funding, and manpower, what is the point of committing funds to an unforeseen mission such as Space Exploration. Space Exploration is an issue that Humanity faces because it targets the what ifs about the future rather than focusing on the dangers of the present. Drought, famine, poverty, and war, will all continue to plague the world, and will remain tackling issues on present day Earth, and by using immense funding and manpower on what is not certain, is detrimental to humanities growth. Although, yes, NASA has created breakthroughs with innovations in relation to technological advancements, it is not certain that exploring space will ensure new innovations, because space itself is still theoretical and far too vast for ideal comprehension. Proper funding is mandatory for growth and expansion, but not important for the funding of Space exploration, rather it is more important to focus on pressing matters ranging from genocides: The Rwandan Genocide, to extreme poverty and famine: humans on Earth who do not have enough to live. If funding is granted to Space exploration by the public, it will remove essential funding to those

Kennedy went before the congress to ask for additional “$7 billion to $9 billion over the next five years for the space program” and challenged the nation to reach the moon by the end of the decade: “I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to earth”. With the goal set by JFK to land a human on the moon by the end of the decade, federal budget poured into the NASA to develop a spacecraft to reach the moon. Headed by rocket scientist Wernher von Braun, who came to the US after WWII under the Nazi regime that developed the V-2 rocket, a team of engineers began the ambitious development of a vehicle that would be capable of reaching space, landing on the moon, and returning back to earth. This would later be known as the Saturn V under the Apollo program. With newly developed technologies such as multi-rocket staging, telemetry instruments, and safety measures, the Saturn rocket program was a success that would allow astronauts to safely land on the

I do agree that brands can last forever such as Chevrolet, but I don’t think that all brands are as strong as Chevy has become. I have seen years of cars produced by general motors and agree the Chevy is highly recognized. Not only has the bowtie for Chevy been a logo for years, but also it is one that generations of people can remember no matter their age. I am not sure if the competition of Ford is one that runs in generations as well, but it seems like if you grow up in a family that admires Chevy then you like Chevy, and same for Ford.

Though von Braun’s actions during WWII are seen are horrible, it is not purely because his actions aided killing thousands of civilians, but because his country was an Axis power and he was working against the Americans. Objectively, von Braun and the other engineers were patriots and wanted to help their country win the war. Many, many Americans also helped to kill innocent people and were never punished. The Allies killed hundreds of thousands of German civilians during the war and nobody was ever held accountable for killing them. Both Americans and Germans killed innocent people, but the former were called heroes, and the latter were called villains. Justice would only be served if everyone who killed civilians during war was punished. This means that justice would never be served because the U.S government would never punish people who helped them win the war, no matter how many innocent people those people

Magnus von Braun was a chemical engineer during World War II who played a vital role in making sure the German rocket research went to the Americans. The history books write often of Magnus’s brother, Wernher, who led the V-2 rocket research program, Hitler’s project for creating long-range missiles, which laid the foundation for the space age rockets years later. Magnus was a part of the V-2 research program and witnessed the destruction and toxicity of the team’s invention, and Magnus anticipated German’s approaching surrender in the closing moments of the war. Magnus knew there was going to be decision between forfeiting the information to either the Americans or the Russians, and Magnus chose to pass the V-2 research files to the Americans.

If I were to create an invention it would be a jet pack. The jetpack would be called, “The Jetpack 2000”.I would want to invent the Jetpack 2000 to get me to all my everyday classes quicker.

Why spend money that is really needed for other things? Why live uncomfortably? Why be trapped in this hole called a home that belongs to another person? Why not live free and peacefully? When a person rents he or she usually throws away money that could be used to purchase something that belongs to them. Money is not easy to come by so why pay out hundreds toward something that is not benefit to the person paying it out. There is no good explanation for making a decision like this. The best option in a situation like this is to buy a house. Buying a house is a better option than renting an apartment.

From this turn of history’s pages, it becomes apparent how fruitful products of technological advancement can have ethically detrimental effects; though as a tenable dyadic affair: planes and bombs propagate death. But as we go on we will see that it unfortunately gets more complicated than that. At the end of World War II the United States had enthusiastically hopped onto the throne of the leading superpower. American markets and interests were vibrant. Those airplanes of yesteryear now went on to create a booming market of airlines, while the same scientific effort of war were dedicating much of their worth to producing rocketry capable of traversing into the wondrous space age. This christened the commencement of the Cold War. The U.S.S.R., who found themselves holding the role of second superpower Post-WWII, looked at us feverishly from behind the throne. This was now a race. And on the American front, technology seemed no longer a means of advancement solely in and of itself. It became a means of securing nationalistic progress over the Soviets—and subsequently

Humans have always been interested in space and the wonder in which it may hold. In the past, humans worshiped the stars as if they were gods while also studying their position to give them guidance for their lives. Their interested in space has fathered the desire to know more. Today, space has been seen by many as the new frontier or the home beyond earth. Society have even taken a step forward through the creation of stories in books and movies based of the idea of humans living in space and the present of alliances. Yet there is still controversy on the need to continue space exploration when our own planet has so many detrimental problems. There is an ongoing debate on whether not the money used for space travel could be better beneficially use for other causes. It is true that space exploration costs billions of dollars a year alone according to NASA current budget, which is constantly increasing. However, what many refuses to understand is that without space exploration many of the innovations that we have today would not have existed. While there have been, many failed attempts involving space exploration that has caused a tremendous amount of money to go down the drain. However, many people fail to realize the benefits of space exploration and the possible future it may
