have always wanted to be a pilot. And in the second world war, he tested planes for the military. This is really interesting to see how one can transition from flying planes to flying rockets. I think that most people just assume that if you are an astronaut that is all you are but it actually takes more training than you could believe. When he was at NASA he became the second Mercury test pilot, he discovered that leaking water was making beads of ice come off from the capsule. He also performed several experiments while in orbit. I think that it is really cool that the pilots need to be scientists as well as the

Konstantin E. Tsiolkovski was another famous man. He was an astronautics pioneer. He taught astronautics,( technology that can travel above the earth’s atmosphere), and about human space travel. He is the creator of cosmonautics,(astronautics), and that humans can go into space with a rocket. He made a rocket equation based on Newton’s second law of motion. Because he showed everyone they could use a rocket to get to space themselves, he is a very important influence to how rockets orbiting the moon all started. Hermann Oberth had a book called By Rocket To Space. This book talked about the mathematics, and science of rockets. This helped get rocketeers motivated. Everyone got motivated to create more rockets. And so more and more rockets evolved.

The Industrial Revolution brought about a plethora of socioeconomic changes that forced the world to modernize from an agrarian based market system to one reliant on manufacturing. As a product of the quaint antebellum society in the South, Edgar Allan Poe looked upon the rapidly changing world with a great deal of anxiety and fear. In fact, his short story, The Fall of the House of Usher reflects some of these anxieties as the titular family, who represent the increasingly irrelevant aristocratic sector in the South, faces extinction in light of the modernizing ideology around them. Throughout the narrative, the speaker reiterates the Ushers’ inability to change and evolve, thus suggesting their resistance to Althusser’s idea of interpellation. Althusser argues that individuals become part of, or interpellated, into society once they have accepted their roles within the established ideology. The Usher family’s resistance to interpellation demonstrates a fear of extinction and an apprehension about progress, particularly as they refuse to integrate themselves into the world outside the Usher family home and immediately expire upon their interaction with an individual foreign to the ideology within the Usher home.
