Who Was Left Unanswered In Apollo 13

The boilers had already not been in good shape plus the pressure of about 2 thousand more people that there were supposed to be boarded on that boat. The boat at to stop a couple times to fix the boilers and almost every stop they pick up more people.The Sultana was made for 376 people, at the times about 2,300 people were boarded on that boat. Before the explosion they had to stop 2 to 3 times just to fix the boiler and the last time they ¨fixed¨ the boiler the job wasn't fully done. Between the weight and the boiler none of it added up correctly. The boiler was already damaged and 2,000 extra people they should have known it was going to end good. Although they didn't really have anyway warning besides the having to fix the boiler multiple times and they knew

Ron Howard's re-creation of the happenings aboard NASA's Apollo 13 flight combined some of the biggest talent in Hollywood to produce a masterful film. Apollo 13 takes us back in time, to the late 1960's and early 70's, when America's NASA space program was thriving and the world stood aside to see who would reach the moon first. The impacts of space program are still evident to this day. It is even said that by beating the Russians to the moon, we established ourselves are the top power in the world and propelled ourselves to the status we hold today. While today our space program flounders in the public eye, this movie illustrates a time when NASA's successes and failures held a huge sociological impact on American and even

Luckily there were pictures and videos for the investigation. On one picture right before the launch you could see a little smoke coming out of the right Solid Rocket Booster. People also found plume coming out of the SRB (Solid Rocket Booster) at T+ 58.788 seconds. Plume is a column of one fluid moving through another. Basically, plume is the stuff that comes out of the bottom of the rocket is in the air. At T+ 64.238 seconds the plume started to change shape. That indicated that there was a leak in the liquid hydrogen tank.

The human kind has always been astonished by the wonders of our environment, both in planet Hearth as in outer space. Therefore, due to such astonishment humans always try to learn and understand the environment around them. It is that needing for knowledge and intellectual growth which leads to scientific research and exploration. However, it is outer space exploration which has always gotten into people’s mind since ancient times. As a result of that curiosity, in modern times institutions are created with the only purpose for studying what there is up there. One of those institutions, it is the National Aeronautical and Space Administration, known as NASA.

While driving frantically through the lush farmland of the Livermore Valley to rescue a 9-year who, along with her classmates had just witnessed the destruction of the Challenger on live television, the question of why was all consuming. Growing up in the sixties and witnessing the moon landing led many to believe NASA was infallible. However, nearly twenty years before Challenger, this proved untrue, as the dangers of space travel were tragically demonstrated when the crew of the Apollo 1 died in an onboard fire during a test run (Howell, 2012). Following the Challenger tragedy, President Reagan (1986, para. 8) stated, ‘We will never forget them, nor the last

The explosion was caused by force from the crash and the virus with heat being applied. No sooner than that all the people began to morph into clowns, then into zombies. All of the people on the station were protected by antivirus suits. They couldn't see any turtle mutants yet. Then suddenly the uninfected people turned into mutant turtles and started kicking and punching the zombies. “I only see three. There's supposed to be more.” They were looking at the whole world on a screen in the station. “What if they got killed?” they other guy asked his name is Easton, the copilot. “That's not possible, they are so much stronger than the clown zombies. They can take them out with one hit.” said captain Tayler, a young military pilot. “ Maybe they haven't been infected yet?” questioned Easton he might have been right. The whole planet couldn’t be infected in two minutes. “ I think you are right. Maybe they are in some kind of metal building. Metal can hold the virus off. “ Tayler stated. “ Search for heat in that building!” Tayler commanded “ eey eey captain!” Easton said sarcastically. “Oh. There are three people.” Easton sounded worried. “We’ve just got to hope the don’t exit at the same time. Unless the virus spreads when the door opens----” Tayler stated until being rudely cut off “Maybe they will all be turtles. We can go down there to them.” Easton

This catalysed a string of errors, with the Captain falsely assuming that the motor had most likely seized, trying to push the breakers back in to no avail nine minutes after they tripped. The situation began to deteriorate further, with a passenger situated near the aft lavatory noting a burning smell followed by a flight attendant discovering smoke and discharging a fire extinguisher into the lavatory, noting no flames.

This film is about three astronauts, they are Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert and Fred Haise. In April 1970, on the glory days of the Apollo Space Program, NASA sent Navy Captain Jim Lowell and two other astronauts to the fifth mission to the moon on the America. Only fifty five hours into the Apollo 13 aircraft, the disaster occurred on a mysterious explosion rocked the ship, and soon its oxygen and power began draining away. Commander Jim Lovell and his crew watched the alarm when the cockpit was getting darker, the air became thinner, and the instrument flickered one by one. Has never been told that almost all the stories of the calamity of the catastrophe were completed, but now Lovell and co-author Jeffrey Kluger bring it to vivd life. What begins

Allocating funds to space exploration has been a controversial topic for decades. On one hand, the funds allocated to space exploration would have been better used if spared to education or health care, according to many people and political groups. On the other hand, scientists argue that our life on earth depends on outer space in many aspects, and hence, increasing our knowledge about this topic is as important as any other field. This essay will analyze both points of view.

“When I first looked back at the Earth, standing on the Moon, I cried.” explained Alan Shepard when asked about his experience on the moon in February 1971 (8). Space travel had humble beginnings with the first object reaching space orbit in the late 1950s. Technology improved such that a rocket could be sent to the moon. Studying space teaches us about our universe and our own planet. The space craft that scientist predict in the future will travel further into the unknowns of space. In this research paper I will outline the history, the benefits, the present state, and the future of space travel.

The Apollo 11 mission captivated the country and won the attention of the world. The successful mission provided many answers but also raised a myriad of new questions that humans had never before thought of. The triumph of achievement and intellect left the new consequences unnoticed, however it is important to discuss the ramifications of space exploration from all angles before deciding on a course of action. While curiosity and the expansion of scientific knowledge are significant factors, the ecological impacts and financial implications of space exploration are the most important factors to be considered when taking up space exploration, as they will have the largest effect on our future.

According to history.com, a weak o-ring failed to seal properly causing a fire to move up the fuselage until it reached the fuel tanks causing an explosion. It took little over a minute for the catastrophe to occur. (HISTORY.COM, n.d.). What people did not know at the time was four engineers tried to stop the launch and nearly succeeded, except NASA dismissed their concerns and the launch proceeded where by seven astronauts lost their lives (Berkes, 2016).

From the age of the Greek explorer Pytheas, to the ages Marco Polo and Christopher Columbus, exploration of the unknown has been a major part of human history. Mankind has always had an irrepressible impulse to venture into the worlds that are foreign to it. Humanity has come to the point though, where the only place left to explore is outer-space. This “final frontier” has a vast amount of things to discover which could become invaluable towards solving problems here on earth. As a leader in the field, it is of great importance that the United States government continues supporting space exploration. However, the mission to outer-space has a cost which many people believe is too high for the benefits that would come from it. It is imperative that in this final chapter of discovery, every risk and expense is taken into account.

After watching the movie Apollo 13, all I can take away is irritation, several unanswered questions, and poorly explained minute details relating to traveling in space. While some details are easy to understand, such as the effects of gravity on weight and the effects of space travel on the human body, many instances of scientific references are made under the presumption that the viewer understands what is being said. Along with the inability to detail the process of achieving space travel, the details they did include were often inaccurate, for example the display of evident sexism. While this movie did roughly indulge in the chronicles of previous space missions and the tension between the United States and Russia in the on going “Space Race”, there is very little mention of the science behind the mission, making this more of a poorly represented history movie than a scientific examination into the world of NASA, the Kennedy Space Center, and the mission of Apollo 13.

At about nine o’clock this explosion caused Oxygen tank number 2 to explode. this explosion lead to some major damage to the spacecraft and the astronauts chances and landing on the moon safely. Lovell looked out the left-hand window and saw that the spacecraft was letting out a gas and so the mission was aborted. The Command Module was losing pressure so they moved to the Landing Module which could be used as a lifeboat and had oxygen to survive. There was a problem however the Landing Module was only made to hold two people and support them for forty-five hours, but the astronauts were in a group of three and needed this to last about ninety hours. Another problem of the Landing Module was the astronauts had to have one-fifth water rations and eventually had to put up with temperature close to freezing. “Removal of carbon dioxide was also a problem, because the square lithium hydroxide canisters from the CM(Command module) were not compatible with the round openings in the LM(Landing Module) environmental system. Mission control built an impromptu adapter out of materials known to be onboard, and the crew successfully copied their model.” Navigation was a problem that could be solved only by the astronauts workings by hand to find the any directions home because the Landing Module did not have a navigation system to get home. They finally swung around the moon and took some pictures and
