We as a human race are mentally programed to explore the unknown whether it is sneaking out into the woods behind your house as a child or going up into the depths of space. Curiosity is what allows us to think outside the box, and when we expand out of our comfort zones we discover things that help advance our race as a whole. There was once a time when space exploration was just a science fictional thought – humans were never expected to pass through Earth’s atmosphere. It all began during the Cold War, when different counties began competing with each other. The race resulted in numerous satellite launchings and the mission that brought man onto the moon; Apollo 11. This inspired so many in the rising generation to pursue careers in science

Virgin Mobile needs not only an effective but profitable pricing strategy that will set the company apart from the competition. With goals to have 1 million total subscribers by the end of the first year and 3 million by year 4, Virgin Mobile has some high expectations with a limited budget. As a company, Virgin Mobile wants to implement a pricing strategy that will attract and retain customers, especially in a target market that has been underserved in the past.

What drives us to undertake a mission? What would make you undertake a mission? Many reasons, maybe it was escaping a country, like Farah Ahmedi when she was escaping Afghanastan with a prospetic leg, or maybe it was to claim their neighbors stakes before stampeders did, like Walt from "King of Mazy May." Some missions just need to be conquested.

Exploration has been an important action to take part of since the beginning of time. We have to explore to find out what’s out there right? We could potentially obtain so much knowledge, and so many resources. You can only obtain the maximum potential of something if your motives and ideology are correct. A great example of someone who had the potential to do so much good, and obtain so much greatness was a Chinese admiral by the name of Zheng He. Zheng He watched his father die at the hand of the Ming Dynasty, along with being castrated himself. Zheng He was forced to join thousands of eunuchs, and then rose quickly through the ranks of the military. The emperor basically assigned Zheng He the task of leading a fleet of exploration

People choose to undertake missions for different reasons, some might do it to prove that they can, some, to improve themselves, while others just

A $2 increase on admission prices has the potential to increase revenues with a low risk of profit loss. A loss would only occur if the price change were to lose more than 572 visitors. An increase to $14 a ticket will bring in extra profits and still remains below the competitors and the ROM’s regular hours

Space has many wonderful sites. I have always wanted to go into space and explore its wonders. Neil Armstrong showed us the way of success. Because of Neil Armstrong, we are now able to allow more people to go into space. His work persuaded people never to give up. He also motivated people with his influential quote, "That's one small step for man, one giant step for mankind." Once Armstrong stepped on the moon he said these words. Which changed the course of

Considering that an average ticket price is $1500 and the cost per passenger is $200, each sold ticket generates $1,300 of the positive cash flow. Since $295,000 of the initial capital had been spent by November 14th, the following minimum number of passengers must sign up in order for Health Cruises to break even provided no more money is invested:

Also from a scientific standpoint there were many who wanted to explore and make technological advances in this area. They wanted to be able to show the world the wonders that we are able to do, and by doing it first create an excitement that would help

“Exploration is instinct to our nature, it is the contest between man and nature mixed with the primal desire to conquer…it fuels curiosity, inspiration, creativity…the human spirit seeks to discover the unknown, and in the process explore the physical and phychological potential of human endurance”. A lot of people ask “Why do the people explore and risk everything they have just to see what’s in space”? The answer is they take big risks because they know that those going to find out what’s out there its making us learn about our world and how to protect it. Space exploration is risky but, it is all worth it because the people going out to explore our solar system is helping our planet and our survival all at one time because the stuff we know today, we know because of the risk takers that wanted to help our world and went exploring and reported

Moreover, financial benefit can be made on any price that is above the direct cost, which in this instant is the €25 variable cost, signifying benefit on any price above €25. With most hotels, and from the financial statements, we know that the Terminus hotel makes a profit from the restaurant business. This as well should be included in determining the Average Daily Spend for a guest, over and above the room rate.

My second point is that it inspires people to gain more education. Space exploration has inspired many great minds to work

This pricing decision aimed at limiting the number of visitors so that they could also increase their margin per ticket sold and get closer to the “willing to pay” price level. After a market survey, it became clear that guests felt that they got value for money.

The global hotels issue is that the cost on hotel spending is high. The annual total spending in 2003 was €70M. Although Betapharm has a global travel agent, employees are acting as independent agents when making hotel reservations. Each employee has his own set of preferences and criteria. The company has a large supply base of over 1,500 hotels currently being used. If Betapharm changes to
