Not many people know about the African-American women in NASA’s mission of getting a man into space.

Land on the moon – Done and dusted! Or is it? “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” – Neil Armstong We know these words as the first ever words uttered on the moon by a human being but are these words portraying the reality or infact hiding it? NASA’s famous Apollo 11 mission that took place in July 1969 with its objective to land on the moon is being considered, by many scientists and theorists, a complete fake. The question is could NASA really have pulled off deceiving 7 billion

Katherine Coleman Goble Johnson was- and still is- an important figure in the space and mathematics world. Known as the girl who loved to count, a NASA mathematician, and a human computer, she helped in many U.S accomplishments while working for NASA. Although many African-Americans plus many women were limited to what they could do as a job without being discriminated, the women of the human computer project changed a lot of stereotypes.

There are many important accomlisments that have happened over the last 100 years such as Neil Armstrong landing on the Moon, Jonas Salk creating the Polio Vaccine etc. I believe one of the more overlooked accomplishments the last 100 years is Charles Lindbergh flying the first nonstop flight from New York to Paris in 1927. Lindbergh was in the air for about 33 hours. This tells you how transportation had evolved from the last 20 years prior with Wilbur and Orville Wright flying the first plane

Although it would hard to donate time and money to build space station in space on mars or on the moon. they need to build a space station on the moon and get a picture of it that way people on earth know where it is and maybe we can see it from earth in a telescope. First and foremost, if they do build a space station wherever they are in space but the question is how much is it going to cost for them to build it who are they going to send up there to build it for them because there are some older

Was Mars once a lush forested marshland? Scientists may have finally found evidence of such a theory. This discovery could also place a timeline to aliens on the Red Planet as well. Leaving SpaceX to make contact in 2020. Currently, Mars is a pretty cold and inhospitable place. It looks like Arizona high desert without plant life or other organisms. Researchers have confirmed that Mars sits in the planetary “Habitable Zone.” The Red Planet is on the edge, but it shares this zone for potential life

Yes, you read that right. It's quite possible that dinosaurs saw how Saturn was formed. As much as we'd all like to think dinosaurs are some ancient race of space aliens that formed our universe, it's more likely they witnessed this even from the very same Earth we live on. Also, they probably had no idea what was going on. HOW SATURN GOT ITS RINGS Red Bull gives you wings but it didn't give Saturn Rings. Saturn was first discovered in the 1600's by a bunch of old astronomers who were probably

MTV has been a leader in popular culture programing for more than 35 years. Debuting in 1981, the channel centered on groundbreaking music-centric programs, leading to the rise of the music video and a new way to discover artists. Since then, the station has branched out, spawning several sister stations focused on specific demographics, including colleges, young men, and Spanish-language programing. Though the station has gotten away from its original focus, it still features shows unlike anything

The purpose for President John F. Kennedy’s putting a man into space and developing a national space organization was “national prestige” (Compton). Russian had already taken leaps ahead of us in the exploration of space by the successful launch of the Sputnik satellite and the success of Yuri Gagarin being the first human to journey into outer space (Doran). Kennedy also fulfilled the role of a true leader by giving the county direction in the form of a difficult and worthy goal. Subsequently, the

Phases of the Moon Ancient people watched the Moon each night and learned to predict its phases and movements. The first person to correctly explain the phases of the Moon is unknown. The time, Pythagoras wrote in 600 B.C., the ancient Greeks knew that the Moon revolves around the Earth and that it is spherical. Greeks knew that motion causes the monthly changes in the Moon’s appearance, they also knew the Moon’s distance from the Earth and had a good measurement of the Moon’s relative size. Our
