Lunarian Astronauts. These two men and three women would dedicate their lives to be the first inhabitants of the Moon. The eighth crewmember would escort them back to Earth. Two years had passed since they were notified of their next mission. Holly Bombardier and Trenton Sage were Payload Specialists sent by Lunar Energy to accompany and set-up the company’s new drill to mine the moon for helium-3. Two years were spent training at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. They flew into Florida one month

Apollo 17 was a very interesting lunar mission, and the goal of the mission was to conduct a geological survey of the moon. The mission also had several other purposes such as conducting scientific experiments. The reason why it landed in the Taurus-littrow highlands is because it was a place on the moon that had not yet been explored yet. Scientists were hoping to get some interesting new rock samples. The mission took place on December 7, 1972. There is a lot of history behind the apollo 17 technology

Effects of Sputnik and Space Race In October of 1957 the first artificial Earth satellite was launched by the Soviet Union into an elliptical low Earth orbit; Sputnik. Being visible all around the Earth and having its radio pulses detectable, this was a surprise success that caused the American Sputnik crisis (a period of public fear and anxiety having awareness of the technological gap between the United States and Soviet Union). This surprise success triggered the Space Race, a 20th-century competition

The Space Race was between two Cold War rivals, the Soviet Union (USSR) and the United States (US). The race to space began in 1955. Apollo 11 successfully put the first man on the Moon. The end of the Space Race was in 1975. The Space Race is considered very important because it would show which nation had the best science, technology, and economic system. The Space Race began in 1955 when the US and the Soviet Union announced that they would be launching satellites into orbit. The USSR formed a

I have always been fascinated with all of the components of space. I always wondered how scientist could gather so much information on one simple topic such as gravity. It impresses me that average humans like Albert Einstein can accomplish so much discovery and techniques. I can barely pass my math quiz after i've studied for 2 days straight. I became so fascinated with astronomy after I had a dream of becoming an astronaut as a kid. Ever since then I became sucked into the world of astronomy

For those of you still upset over Pluto's demotion, there may be a new ninth planet. Or at least NASA scientists believe it exists -- and they want you to help find it. The Zooniverse space projects site has launched a NASA-funded venture, Backyard Worlds: Planet 9, which lets anyone participate in the search for the not-yet-discovered planet. "There are really low barriers to entry," Dr. Laura Trouille of Zooniverse told CNN. "Anyone can participate, from a kindergartener to a 95-year-old." How

believe that Pluto should be a planet for a number of reasons. One it has three moons two it orbits the sun and three it is in our solar system. In this writing I will be telling you why I think Pluto should be named as a planet again. Reason one is that Pluto has THREE moons and we have only seen moons orbiting planets. If Pluto isn't a planet then how does it have three moons? I think that if something has a moon that is decently big that it should be called a planet also we know that it is

she always had a fascination with space travel. It was new and exciting, giving her much intrigue. It was dangerous yet rewarding. She said in a recent interview, “I had hoped that one day I would be up there. Flying through space, walking on the moon, and seeing the universe through a different light.” (Bockhorst) She didn't realize how hard space travel was, because she thought for sure she would be able to do it someday. All she thought was, “I can't wait to see the earth from up there.” (Bockhorst)

the sun, then Silver is the moon. Mystical, cool, sacred. Since ancient times, Silver has been closely associated with lunar influences. Indeed, for some civilizations, Silver had more value than Gold and even possessed religious Significance. To the Egyptians, gold represented perfection, so they gave it the symbol of a circle. Since Silver was the closest to gold in perfection, it was given the symbol of a semi-circle. Later this semi-circle led to a growing moon symbol. Silver Mythology
