Space Shuttle Discovery

gigantesque space station pirouetting in the vast dark. The pilots of this vessel make use of flat-screen computer displays to match their rotation with that of the massive orbital outpost. As the shuttle spins, a logo of the world's largest airline, emblazoned on its side, comes into view. This is not the present, but it was to be the past. A scene from Stanley Kubrick's 1968 science-fiction epic, 2001 A Space Odyssey, it was lauded at the time for its realistic portrayal of a human future in space (*1)

Normalization of Deviance "Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently." (Ford) The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has had its fair share of catastrophic disasters. The Apollo 1 Fire was said to be a “preventable failure by NASA”. (Dhar) Though shortly after, the Apollo 13 intendent was just a near miss of a great disaster. Then to sum the failures, it would take the lives of 14 astronauts for a course of action to be considered. Thus what do all these disasters have

Under the sun 's scorching dense beams, I lounge in my house located just outside the city of Eurasic. I begin to pack for space, arriving home from a test trial of the space zones departing in several weeks. Since my 18th birthday, I have currently been living alone in a small pod for the past 4 years Eurasic is one of five neighboring cities remaining on the earth. Due to the significant effects of global warming, the earth is dying, turning a fragile antique object that is ready to sell

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 already stripped the National Aeronautical Space Administration (NASA) to a shell of what the space program used to be. He also stressed that we are still in an armed conflict that has put a strain on our nation, economically and emotionally.

Stuck in Space Going to space may be an adventure and claiming a treasure can be more fun; but getting stuck in space can be another thing. We were all after the same treasure – a device that can basically do anything you want it to. Scientist Bob, Dr. Kersey, Dr. Emily, and Dr. Brianna decided to help me in finding the treasure that could change the world. In our little laboratory in Louisiana, we were finding a way to travel to space with the little equipment we have left from the unfortunate war

Why We Should Be Heading Towards Space Space exploration is something that has intrigued mankind ever since science fiction writers of old sparked the imagination of the people. Since then, we have made leaps and bounds towards space travel with landing people on the moon, sending satellites to Saturn, the photos from the Hubble Telescope and the rover, Curiosity, on Mars. These advances have provided information that will prove to be beyond measure. While the cost of such information has been high

Going to space and exploring other planets and areas in space has been something that really interests anyone. This is because exploration has been something everyone for the most part has participated in and loved doing because you are discovering new things you had no idea about before. If you think about it, exploration is the same concept as learning. When you explore you discover as well as when you learn you discover. Space exploration has helped this country more than you would think just

the world's space exploration program. But does this benefit us at all? Good morning 8 romero and mr mcgowan today i will be talking about how space exploration is a waste of money. Why do we need to waste our money to find out if there is water on Mars or not? We could be spending all that money on beneficial things like finding a cure for cancer or feeding the starving millions around the globe, the needs of humanity should always be our first priority so I strongly agree that space exploration

inspiring people around the world. Increasing the federal budget for NASA will subsequently increase their contribution to the country. On September 17th, 2007, NASA Administrator Michael Griffin delivered a lecture that addressed the critical role that space exploration plays in the global economy. During this lecture,
