    or dysfunctional satellites, and even fragments or small parts from other machinery that was launched into space. All of these man-made fragments orbit the Earth, so they are often called orbital debris (NASA 2012). Orbital debris is a very dangerous thing. Not only is it creating many problems for scientist, it is also growing every day. A series of photos on a document published by NASA (2009), called The Threat of Orbital Debris and Protecting NASA Space Assets from Satellite Collisions, shows

    Space exploration has opened up so many new aspects to what is really out there and we have accomplished many things in terms of discovery and proof. There are issues involved with space exploration, though, such as space debris, astronaut safety, and the theory of space exploration really being a mission to find an alternative livable space if Earth ever becomes uninhabitable. Understanding the real reasons why we are going to such great lengths to find life in space could change the outlook on

    Johannes Kepler was a modern individual and he believed that God would have created a perfect world and in that world everything was geometrically perfect. In Banville’s book about Kepler it says, “The search for knowledge everywhere encounters geometrical relations in nature, which God, in creating the world, laid out (Banville 1981, p.145).” As he pursued the answer to planetary motion, he assumed that the planets orbited the sun in a perfect circle. He tried to seek order in his chaotic life through

    and man-made satellites[1]. When a rocket is launched, the upper stage booster that gives a spacecraft its final boost into orbit is often left in orbit[2]. These boosters may stay in orbit for decades and if there is still fuel remaining inside them they may explode and create a cloud of debris[2]. One example was when a Chinese Long March 4 exploded on March 11, 2000 [3]. The payloads of the rocket often contribute greatly to the amount of orbital debris as well. In 2009, two satellites smashed into

    Introduction to Government Funded Versus Privately Funded Human Spaceflight Getting into space isn 't easy. It required the world 's largest superpowers and billions of dollars of research and development to create the first rockets capable of carrying human beings into space. Approximately 60 years later, we find ourselves still struggling to reach LEO (low-Earth Orbit) without breaking the bank. With the retirement of the Space Shuttle in 2011, the United States has lost its only dedicated vehicle

    Asteroids will provide the means to transform future human space exploration and operations in to large scale activities. They will first provide a rich source of minerals and material for initial economic expansion and concurrently providing platforms for operations and manufacturing. Eventually, asteroids could be used as space vehicles to move humans across and possibly beyond the solar system effectively becoming mobile bases of operations and even space colonies. The only significant limitations

    We Can Put a Man on the Moon, but Why Can’t We Make Killer Robot Police? In the recent past, NASA has been doing excellent and outstanding things in the outer space. The media has hyped the show and depicted NASA as a genius (Frederick). Most people would say that the operations of NASA are exhilarating, but in my opinion, I am left flabbergasted! Could the skills used to put a man on the moon be duplicated to improve the state of life for humans? Can’t they decide to invent robots that will play
