Ancient Aliens and Ancient Astronaut Theory Mark P. Robertson Educational Planning Course “Critical Issue Project” Empire State College Mary Ellen Shaughnessy June 17, 2011 There has been a lot of commotion lately between both the scientific and religious communities in regards to this topic. The claims of Intelligent Extraterrestrial Life visiting the Earth in ancient times and profoundly affecting the development of Human civilization, is
Ancient Astronauts were believed to have helped the Egyptian civilization construct the great Pyramids. The charlatan Erich von Daniken proposed this idea in 1970 and made millions through book-selling and movie rights. In his book, he explained that the primitive Egyptians were not smart enough to have built the pyramid by themselves, and that the feat. would have required enormous man-power and ingenuity which he believed the Egyptians lacked. Through elimination, Daniken concluded that the only
If I had to choose an occupation in science I believe that I would be an Ancient astronaut theories. I have watched a lot of tv show but my favorite would have to be Ancient Aliens. After watching this show alot I have grown an interest in this field. I Have grown interest in this field because, I love the idea that we are not the only planet with life on it not only that but the other plants life forms have came to earth and help us make a world more civilized even though it cannot be proven yet
thus how she ended up working for NASA. “During a pivotal scene, Johnson and a team of white, male engineers are staring at a blackboard, trying to solve equations for the trajectory of astronaut John Glenn's space capsule. They're stumped until Johnson hits upon a solution: ‘Euler's Method,’ she says. ‘That's ancient,’ says one of the engineers incredulously. ‘Yes. But it works,’ she counters. ‘It works numerically.’” (Meyers, 2017) Overall this movie, Hidden Figures, touches bases with on cultural
Astronauts have to take tests before being assigned a mission. Some before flight tests are eye, ear, and brain testing for good health. Physical and psychological exams and a stress test can be administered. Along with tests that regard the body, mental tests

Each women has an obstacle of their own in hopes of having a great chance of putting a man in space. One of the women who played a major part in putting a man in space is Katherine Johnson. Johnson hoped to be in the position where she will be respected. When Johnson got there she did not get the respect she deserved. She was the most intelligent person working in the
Made for Space, Kenneth Chang, 2014) Long-term space flight requests that astronauts have to be exposed to the real space environment, which includes microgravity, the significant increase in radiation, variation in temperature and space view. Due to these changes of space environment from that of the Earth, astronauts will face the changes on their body and health, some of the changes would be negative. For example, astronauts will see the significant changes in their body; their whole bodies will
if I were to change it so that it was more agreeable, I would change it so that it would say, “...to most people, ten thousand hours of practice is required to achieve the possibility of becoming a world class-expert-- in anything.” Evidence of astronauts who became experts under 10,000 hours, comedians’ god given natural humor, and evidence of exceptional soccer players and volleyball players’ heights all show why Malcolm Gladwell’s “ten thousand hours” isn’t completely true. I added “to most
“The stars don’t look bigger, but they do look brighter,” said Sally Ride, the first American women into space. She was a trailblazer in science and space exploration, and an inspiration to many. Born in 1951, and entering space in 1983, Ride is the youngest American to go into space. Ride was president and CEO of Sally Ride Science, her company which encouraged young girls to pursue science. She died in 2012 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. Sally Kristen Ride was born on May 26, 1951,
It was the coolest thing around. I idolized the astronauts, but I never thought really seriously about becoming one.” (HBR). As a youth she was competitive in sports and even considered becoming a professional tennis player when she first started college in 1968, but ultimately decided against it (Grady)
