According to “Inside the Grand Plan to Send Humans to Mars” Kaite Nodjimbadem’s(2016) claims that persuade the audience give an information about NASA’s grand program by 2030 and the concept of this project using quote an interview with Dava Newman who is NASA’s innovative deputy administrator. In order to this article, the ultimate goal of NASA sends four astronauts to Mars by Orion: the manned spaceship representing the nation’s ambition. This plan is slated in following order. First of all, scientists set to send a robotic spacecraft to assemble surface material samples from an asteroid near the Earth. Next, NASA makes plan to launch Space Launch System and Orion together certain years. Besides, in space, they want to achieve boots on Mars with the self-sustainable condition. In order to deliver her information effectively, the author conveys each strategy of rhetorical appeals.
Firstly, Katie begins citing with Dava Newman’s explanation in her journal, and she mentions two times word “far”. The author uses pathos appeal. For instance, from the beginning, she already repeated word “far” for holding attention to intense on NASA’s plan. Another example is …show more content…
Katie expresses exciting of character about Dava Newman “Dava Newman’s light blue eyes bright as she regards a model of the most powerful rocket ever to come off a NASA drawing board. She places it on the coffee table in her stately sun-filled office at the agency’s headquarters in Washington, D.C(paragraph 1).” In addition, the author even mentions administrator’s office detail location, which is in Washington state that plays important role of United States. All of these aspects give her audience to increase their attention and consumption in content. Moreover, the writer reminds movie called ‘Buffs of Armageddon’ and defines the astronaut’s mission in 2021(paragraph 9). This expression is not only help her readers easy to understand, but also make a clear for Katie’s expression.
Next, Katie analyzes her explanation of the concept what NASA is going to face on. She lists on grand plan time line which is from paragraph 8 and 9. Human scheduled to send a robotic spaceship to collect a sample from the Red Planet this september. And also, NASA planed to dispatch the SLS and Orion in 2018 to 2020, and final destination is to send astronauts to Mars in 2030. It makes audience to follow smoothly and to bring the great structure of the grand plan.
Moreover, Kaite conveys ethos to pursuasive her reliability.
She is a Smithsonian magazine reporter. In order to “WikiPedia”, Smithsonian magazine supports in-depth examination diversity scientist materials and it is quite a well-known and trustable magazine. As a outsanding and reliable author, she uses chunk of examples and focus on extra detail structure. For instance, she introduces specific rocket SLS “In its initial iteration, the SLS will be 322 feet tall and 15 percent more powerful than the Saturn V rocket, which powered the Apollo missions to the Moon.” Futhermore, she talks about the sequence of NASA’s next target and ‘cislunar space’ and add an extra information of 239,000 miles away far from the Earth. The expression reminds me more reliable and I can depend on Smithsonian
magazine.
To sum up, The writer, Kaite Nodjimbadem, used three different sorts of appeals in order to carry on her readers more effectively and conviece readers more credible. By doing that, she encouraged the audience to bring out their interest and attention on her delivery. However, at the same time it seems Kaite put too much of details on every data to recover her credibilities.
