and mathematics in this school but he had already realized his passion in astronomy with a telescope which was a present from his mother.(wikipedia) He began reading Hermann Oberth's Die Rakete zu den Planetenrumen ("The Rocket into Interplanetary Space") and developed his interest in astronomy and engineering. ''He involved in the German

History of Rockets A rocket is a cylindrical projectile that can be propelled to a great height or distance by the combustion of its contents. Robert Hutchings Goddard, was the first to create a liquid fueled rocket in 1926. Robert was about 44 years old when he invented the first liquid fueled rocket. Roberts rocket reached an altitude of 41 feet at about 60 mph and lasted about 2 seconds. The rocket landed approximately 184 feet away from the blast off place. The rocket was about 10 feet tall

Wharton School of Business. In 1995 he moved to California to start a PhD in Applied Physics and Material Science at Stanford University, but later left to chase his entrepreneurial aspirations in areas such as the internet, sustainable energy, and space exploration. Musk is currently the CEO of Tesla and works with NASA through SpaceX,

Astronomy: Discovery of Uranus by William Herschel in 1781 What was the motivation that led to the discovery? William Herschel was a musician/composer who like to track stars as a hobby. He constructed his own personal telescope and would track the location and movements of the stars around him. In 1781 he saw what he was a comet for multiple nights. He thought it was a comet because it changed its place in the night sky. What questions were asked? He had his telescope set at a certain power

life. These events happened in different locations at different times, including on Stag Island when he was 9 years old and first thought about becoming an astronaut, going all the way to Russia to train for a future mission in space and even going to the International Space Station for almost 150 days in 2012. Conflict The conflict in this novel is considered (by me) to be Individual vs. Society. This is because Hadfield wanted to become an astronaut as a child, but knew he could not at the time

Before I read the article I was in favor of autonomous drones. When growing up I saw the movie “Stealth” which is about the first ever-autonomous aircraft joining a actual team. At first the pilots were skeptical, but then through fighting in combat together they became close friends and the autonomous aircraft ended up sacrificing himself for the two pilots behind enemy lines. Up until I read this article I never thought it was even a possibility. Then on August 17th 2014 the Navy’s unmanned X-47B

“Space... The final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission, to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before.” Captain Picard’s opening monologue always left me in awe when I watched Star Trek as a child. The following technology and countless time-space anomalies of each episode had never failed to intrigue me. From teleportation to robots, indistinguishable from human beings, science

there is more evidence that proves it was fake. For example: The American flag planted in the moon, Buzz Aldrin’s footprint, and mysterious lights appearing in the sky all have hidden things in their photos that could have been impossible in outer space. One of the most famous photos of the Apollo 11 mission is the American flag waving in the breeze on the moon. Breeze? In fact there is no wind on the moon, so how is this possible? It can be argued that the inertia

rocket scientist to successfully propel a rocket using liquid fuel. He was born in Worcester, Massachusetts on October 5, 1882. Through Goddard’s childhood, he was interested in science. “Interested in science as a child, Goddard became intrigued by space after reading H. G. Wells' science fiction novel, "The War of the Worlds."” (American Father of Rocketry). Goddard’s parents had also encouraged him in the subject of science. “Robert was the son of a traveling salesman who also dabbled at inventing
