Challenger disaster

the first functioning plane, to commercial flight, to space travel, people have been innovating and creating so that one day, we can actually reach the stars. The Wright brothers, Amelia Earhart, the Boeing 747, the Apollo Moon Mission, and the Challenger Space Shuttle were all different people, objects , and events that contributed to people being able to get off the ground, into the air, and even further, into space.     The Wright brothers were two men that greatly contributed to planes and flying

fact that they got stiff in colder temperatures. This led to the identification of the explosion. In 2003, Ride was also asked to serve on the Columbia accident investigation board. Ride was the only person to serve on both boards investigating the Challenger and Columbia accidents. She also led NASA’s first strategic planning effort, and penned “NASA Leadership and America’s Future in Space”, sometimes referred to as “Ride’s

or short proposals. Memos may also be used as a tool to inform staff, management, or executives of important information. Two very good examples of this are the memos written regarding the 1978 Three Mile Island Disaster, and the 1985 Challenger Explosion. Both of these disasters were forewarned by employees and addressed by memos to superiors. Bert M. Dunn of Babcock and Wilcox Company wrote a memo to his management to inform them of a potential operator error occurring at the nuclear power

Recollections of vivid autobiographical episodic memories formed when an individual experiences intense emotions, generating from a surprising public event defines Flashbulb memories (FBMs). Permanent and consistent remembrances processed cognitively and stored as explicit recollections in long term memory are additional features of FBMs (Goldstein, 2014). Brown & Kulik (1977) first proposed this phenomenon and argued FBMs are resistant to change like photographs. The ongoing debate over the process

The Challenger had carried Ride up to space two times; the robot arm, which Ride used so successfully., had been ripped from the space shuttle and fell into the deep sea. The next day, NASA's administrator called Ride's home, asking her to be a presidential commission

Discussing Engineering Conflicts: The Hyatt Regency Walkway Collapse and The Challenger Space Shuttle Explosion ET 100 Section 01 Lance Scott W0520798 November 17, 2014     Abstract Often, engineering ethics differ in personal judgments and can lead to many conflicts with ideas, designs, or preparations. One reason of engineering ethics resulting in conflicts is the disagreements with the facts of the case or not agreeing on every aspect of the case. When working with others, many differ with

In President Ronald Reagan’s speech, he addresses the situation that occurred between the space shuttle and the Challenger 7 crew at the State of Union. He helped the American public who were sad, confused and shocked about what was going on. The speech was meant to try and make people feel better and to strictly state that the space program will continue at NASA. The Challenger 7 were heroes and they did brilliant work at NASA due to their bravery and courage. In his speech, he used the tone

came from the shuttle were, “Go throttle up”. Judith Resnik was awarded the Space Medal of Honor after the explosion. Her legacy lives on after her premature death. As a tribute to the Challenger crew, the Challenger Center for Space Science Education was founded in April of 1986. There are now over 50 Challenger Centers across the nation. Resnik is also honored through a Women’s Health Center and a scholarship for a student pursuing a career in math, science, or space technology. Judith Resnik

goal of a president is to console the nation and put confidence in his people. In the three tragedies of the challenger, the Oklahoma bombing, and the 9/11 bombing presidents used tone, directed audiences, and specific examples. On January 28, 1986 American faced one of its most devastating moments in history. This date marked the day that the Challenger exploded. The challenger was extensively captured by the media because of who was on the spacecraft. An American schoolteacher received

Reagan uses a solemnly optimistic tone that lets the audience know that he too is mourning as they are, but his faith in the NASA space program is still strong without disregarding the tragedy that they have at hand. All at the same time, giving subtle hints to the Soviet Union (which he knew was watching), that this accident wouldn’t allow the space program to end, and that space would continue to be explored. Reagan uses mostly pathos and ethos throughout his speech, to allow the nation to understand
