Warner Brothers Pictures 'Gravity'

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to fly in space or work on the crew at NASA that helps the astronauts get home safely? These two jobs both use many of the laws of physics. In fact, almost everything they do involves physics. Apollo 13 is a movie that epitomizes what those jobs are like and how much physics is required. The three main laws of physics in the movie were Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation, Newton’s First Law, and Newton’s Third Law.

After that, Alan Shepard is chosen to be the first man in space and he perfectly landing in the ocean at the end of his space travel. Then, the other six Astronauts lobbed into space one by one, and all of them are eventually landed safely. Hence, the press and media treat them as American Heroes despite their mistakes, such as the Gus Grissom mistakenly pops the top off the capsule at the wrong time. As the result, NASA became the topic of focus for the people all over the country, which spurred by the government’s propaganda and local media reporting. Meanwhile, Edwards Air Force Base is working on the cultivation of astronauts and development of the rocket planes even the public is not paying attention to them. In particular, the legendary

The movie “Gravity” starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney was about a medical engineer Dr.Ryan Stone(Sandra Bullock) on her first shuttle mission with her commander Matt Kowalsky(George Clooney) and it is his last flight to space before his retirement. During the journey, disaster strikes leaving Ryan and Matt stranded in space with absolutely no connection to Earth. There shuttle is destroyed and the other astronauts died, leaving Matt and Ryan the only two that survive. Until only one of them can survive and that one is Ryan.Matt floats off to space with little oxygen and eventually dies. Ryan is left all alone, she is running out of oxygen and the shuttle of fuel. She soon realizes that it is time to go home, the shuttle goes through

Reagan then reassured that the space program would continue to operate and “what happened today does nothing to diminish it”. This message sought to protect the ongoing space programs and was dedicated to the last sub-audience of his speech: the NASA people. He acknowledged their hard work and expressed sympathy for their loss of friends and coworkers.

The space crew was scared not knowing what to do or what would happen, their lives were at risk. They didn’t now the possibilities or the outcomes, as they sat in the rocket waiting to see what would happen, while they still went spinning around the moon.

The Apollo 13 mission was about to begin. Month, maybe even years of work was about to bestow upon the public. In Lauren Tarshis’ Disaster in Space, she states, “Five, four, three, two, one . . . With a deafening roar and a brilliant flare of fiery gas, the rocket catapulted Apollo 13 into the sky. It streaked through the air at 24,000 miles per hour—14 times the speed of a bullet. The force strained the astronauts’ hearts. It stretched back the skin on their faces until it seemed the skin would rip away from their skulls. The men felt as though their bones might shatter. “ As demonstrated by this quote by Tarshis, astronauts had to go through much trouble just launching off our planet. It was not easy as shown by the quote above. But believe it or not, that wasn’t much for the astronauts either. That was just the start of a long treacherous

On 1st of February, 2003, the space shuttle Columbia exploded when it re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere after finished a 16 days mission in space. All seven astronauts were dead because of this incident. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) had stopped the space shuttle program for more than two years to investigate this tragedy. In the 16 days period, the astronauts did approximately 80 experiments on different categories, for example, life science and material science [1]. An investigation later has found out that the disaster was caused by a problem on the day that took off on 16th of January.

Our trip was set for ninety two days which was very impressive for the distance we had to cross. With a nearly perfect space voyage across the empty void separating our old planet from our new one. We only had one casualty, a crew member had a heart attack mid way through the journey. The sad loss of life was a big blow to our morality but we had a job and a mission to do. After the death everything went smoothly all scientific research continued and life in zero gravity was enjoyable.Those days were sadly about to end.

The emotional impact of watching the movie Gravity would be impossible without the musical score, sounds, and silence utilized throughout the movie. Right within the first 10 minutes, the emotional intensity is already high as Dr. Stone and Matt Kowalski are hit by debris and separated sending her spinning into the vast space. At that moment, she is wildly spinning and all you can hear is disjointed radio sounds coming from her suit, the highly intense music, and her breathing. This really set the stage for how important sound would be in the movie. Later, she is outside the Russian space station repairing it when she lets go of her wrench. It is practically silent until she reaches for it and looks up to see the debris coming again. Once again,

The International Space Station, in popular science fiction movies, is portrayed as having spaceships with artificial gravity. In actuality, lack of gravity poses great risks for astronauts, such as muscle degeneration and disorientation. Rachel Feltman, in her article “Why Don’t We Have Artificial Gravity?”, addresses the possibility of artificial gravity aboard spaceships. Feltman’s claim is that the artificial gravity, commonly depicted in movies, is not an option in space travel. Feltman utilizes logos to establish her evidence and reasoning as to why artificial gravity will not work in space, as well as adopting a pedantic style of writing, plus an allusion to a standard science fiction movie.

The first critical event of the film gives the Apollo 13 astronauts their mission. Alan

As days for Asier and his friends became truly boring, he thought that he had enough. He wanted to demonstrate to everybody that he was smart and old enough. He wanted to show his friends that the he can go outside of the station into empty space with an astronaut suit, and to begin to assist the astronauts with their experiments. Asier searched for a space suit of his size, but he did not find anyone. Thinking that this will not stop him, he took, against his father orders, one of the space suits, and cut here, patched there, connected the parts, tubes and cables, and finally seated the helmet. He tied the cord that kept the astronauts subject to the ship, opened the station’s door and jumped into space. The astronauts were very frightened

From this point everything goes downhill. While the shuttles are docked and refueling, a leak in the fuel line catches fire and the teams race to get everyone back onto the shuttles safely. The space station explodes just as both shuttles take off with an extra space man, the Russian astronaut from the space station. The next tragedy of the mission occurs as both shuttles “sling shot” around the moon in preparation to land on the asteroid. The shuttle Independence is hit by debris and goes down onto the asteroid. The Russian Cosmonaut and AJ are the only two aboard the Independence that are able to make it into the cargo pod. They, along with Bear, prove to be the only survivors. Oscar, Newman and the other NASA crew member’s parish. The shuttle Freedom, containing Cornel Sharp, Watts, Harry, Rock hound, Chick, and Max make it to the asteroid with minimal damage.

Courtesy of Kowalski’s handy jetpack, the two begin their trek to their only hope for survival: an escape pod at the International Space Station. As they float through space, Stone reveals she has no one back home and has lost a 4 year old daughter to an accident. It now dawns to Kowalski why Stone is so withdrawn preferring silence rather than human interaction. As they approach the Space station they desperately try to grab onto something before flying off into the abyss, Kowalski is saved by Stone who is tangled up by rope, suddenly

Three men shivered in the cold, dark spaceship as it floated through space, unsure if they would return to Earth after the first disaster to occur in space. During the early 1960’s, America was fascinated with the Space Race. The United States became the first country to put a man on the moon, and the exploration did not stop there. Apollo 13 tells the story of three astronauts that were supposed to go to the moon. On the journey there, part of the ship exploded, causing the fuel levels to plummet. Now unable to complete the mission, the crew struggled their own disappointments and frustrations as well as the problem of how they would get home. Against the odds, Mission Control and the three crew members overcame multiple life threatening problems and managed to get the men home alive and safe.
