Why We Should Go to Mars Kenneth C. Brown II Why We Should Go to Mars Richard, an author for the website GOVTEEN Global Community, wrote an article briefly explaining why we as a nation, should not go to Mars. Some of the key points of his argument against going to Mars stressed that the financial cost would be too high, it would require several new spacecraft and ground habitats, and several new technologies that currently do not exist. He also was concerned about the budget cuts that have

middle east. They ventured forth and spread across the earth. Then came the period of stagnation where no exploration was happening and the space race started. We went back to our roots as pioneers exploring beyond the bounds of our small blue planet. America as a whole was the economic powerhouse of the age and the space race caused our education standards to be raised as a whole leading to a greater nation. However,

as restructuring within the administration. In 2010, NASA decommissioned the Space Shuttle, leaving the agency without a manned shuttle capable of reaching the International Space Station and the moon, which they intended to counteract with the launch of the Orion in 2014. This project did not meet its intended deadline due to budgetary constraints, which caused the intended first flight to be delayed, making America rely on foreign space agencies for cargo and crew transportation (Hunt). Alongside

Did you know that John F. Kennedy said that we need to have a space program to go forward in society. The U.S is falling behind on space exploration, so space exploration is worth the cost. The reasons why we need to start the space program back up is because we can discover new technology and it is a challenge to test the U.S. First, space exploration is worth the cost because it will open our minds to new technology. John F. Kennedy said “ medical space research may open up new understandings of

Rosie and the Black Hole I was hanging out in the beautiful secret flower hideout with my best friend Rose. Rose and I fixed up this old hideout last summer it had a pool that was green and I think it had vomit too, but Rose and I cleaned it and her mom always wanted to know why we never wanted to go to the lake. There was lots of unwatered plants so we pulled out the hose and watered them. Then we put lots of furniture in. Now it is our beautiful secret flower hideout that we hide in when

In the 1980s, some of the excitement from the first moon landing in 1969 had cooled down, but NASA was taking steps to once again increase interest in the space program. One of these steps was bringing a teacher into space. For the Challenger launch of 1986, NASA decided to hold a contest to choose one lucky teacher to bring into space. This would make space travel seem more “real” to people as a regular person would be in a place that only highly trained professionals had previously been. Christa

The Importance of Space Exploration “NASA is an engine of innovation and inspiration as well as the world 's premier space exploration agency, and we are well served by politicians working to keep it that way, instead of turning it into a mere jobs program, or worse, cutting its budget” stated, famous scientist, Bill Nye. For years, NASA has been working on new technology to get the humankind into the great beyond. There has been a great debate if NASA and other space programs are even worth

Deep Space. By proposing to put humans on the Moon and Mars, the President has not changed our manned space exploration policy; he has created one. President George W. Bush proposed a new age in Space Exploration on January 14, 2004. The Space Shuttle Columbia disaster was only part of his reasoning for announcing a new direction for NASA. A reason not as well known is the current lack of any direction for NASA. Other than sending probes and robots to Deep Space and Mars, NASA has continued to

Mitchel Ogren Written Communication 100 Scott Olsen 30 September 2016 Human Error Can human error be prevented by technology? The greatest failures known to man are created by small errors. Just like everything on this Earth, technology wasn’t there to mess up. It was humans that made the oversight. Was it carelessness that made these great failures? Or was it something that we simply overlooked? Can we really blame Mother Nature? Can we blame pride and competition; the desire to be first? How

In his Op-Ed article in response to the Falcon 9 rocket explosion on September 1st, “We Love You SpaceX, and Hope You Reach Mars, but we Need you to Focus”, Eric Berger, the author, lists objectives that SpaceX has set for itself and its contractual partner, NASA. Berger explains that following the static fire anomaly on Thursday 9/1, SpaceX needs to shift its focus from satellite launch contracts and colonizing Mars to fulfill their fiduciary responsibilities with NASA. In this article, Berger his
