The launch of Sputnik, by the Soviets, in 1957 prompted the US to do something to catch up to the Soviets. The first thing the United States did was to end any opposition to developing space travel. By 1961, national prestige was quoted as a reason for developing space travel. The American people supported the Space Race and were thrilled in the fact that they ‘won’ the race. However, by 1970, the political climate had shifted. For the time being liberals were disappointed with the whole technology sector, due to its association with the military during Vietnam. A conservative administration had taken over as well. With limited liberal support, NASA was unable to prevent the Nixon administration from killing the lunar program. NASA was able to salvage a short-term orbital lab, Skylab.…
It was formed to expand our horizons and learn about the universe outside our own world, and also to “catch up to” the Soviet Union’s space efforts. In his January 1961 State of the Union Address, he suggested international cooperation in space. Kennedy first announced the goal for landing an American on the Moon in the speech to a Joint Session of Congress on May 25, 1961, and this is a quote from that speech: "First, I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the earth. No single space…
Moody solved all of these problems. He only had a fifth grade education, but after many designs he finally crafted the octagonal structure; the only one like its kind still standing today on the east coast. Moody had to sell some of his stock share in order to get the funds for his project.…

The United States has had a vastly changing national space policy during the cold war. The early cold war presidents such as Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon had a very active and well-funded space policy compared to later cold war presidents. What caused each president to have a different policy and what shaped their views on space policy during the height of the cold war? What were the goals and outcomes of their policies?…
Space exploration has always been fascinating, and it gives us hope of finding something new. According to the video “Space Race: 20th Century Timeline and Firsts,” “though the idea of space travel was discussed for hundreds of years, the field of rocketry got its first big boost in the early 20th century.” A century ago, space exploration was just a concept or a dream for mankind, but this idea had been accomplished by the developed of powerful rocket which overcome the force of gravity. In the beginning, on March 16, 1926 an American physicist, Robert A. Goddard, launched the first liquid fuel rocket in history. After World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union created their own missile programs. On October 4th 1957, the Soviets launched the first satellite into space. Later on, a national goal of “Landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth within a decade” was set by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 (Space Race). On July 20, 1969, Astronaut Neil Armstrong was the first man walking onto the moon. The space exploration improved for the century, and now the advances of technology have pushed space travel to go further and discover other planets in solar system. However, in order to explore universe in details, many scientists have endeavored very hard to invent more new high technologies. Therefore, with its high technologies, space exploration has a lot of impacts on us today. For example, with the satellite system put up in the space, the weather forecast today has a high accuracy level, and this accuracy has helped in preventing many calamities. Besides the weather forecast, the satellite system also helps people to transmit the news or media all over the world almost instantly. Moreover, the researching space becomes a high paying jobs for many…
The development of Terminal 5 was an extremely time-consuming journey which started in the late 1980 's when Richard Rogers Partnership was appointed with the task of designing the terminal. Planning applications were submitted in 1993, and a public enquiry was held from 1995 to 1999 to examine the every need of this new…
The NASA space program really began working when President Nixon signed the approval for the development of the Space Shuttle in 1972. The Space Shuttle development was a group effort by all groups at NASA. The first Shuttle produced was the Enterprise and its main goal was to practice entering the upper atmosphere and returning to earth with a safe landing. The first fully functional Space Shuttle was the Colombia and it did its first mission in 1981. The United States funded STS development and Shuttle operations. The Shuttle has been used for orbital space missions by NASA, the U.S. Department of Defense, the European Space Agency, and…
A dreamer at heart, on May 25,1961 president proposes an American space effort greater than all previous efforts combined, and designed to put an American space team on the moon within the decade.History recalls this as a most confident move.…
The Glasgow Science Centre Tower Project was highly publicized and viewed with enthusiasm by both politicians and the public. The project had gained immense public support before the cost and time implications were clear. This made it impractical to cancel the project once the full costs and time implications became clear. As a result, numerous constraint tradeoffs were required between the projects cost and scope. Scope changes continued all the way through the Implementation Phase. This caused the opening date to be postponed numerous times. Because of all of the delays and the many scope changes, the Glasgow Science Centre Tower Project took over 10 years to complete and with a cost overrun of US$15 million (Kwak, n.d.).…
The Space Race has left a legacy of Earth communications and weather satellites, and continuing human space presence on the International Space Station. It has also sparked increases in spending on education and research and development, which led to beneficial spin-off…
Miozzi states that work done by NASA inspires future generation to pursue science and engineering (Miozzi 1). These fresh minds will be responsible for orchestrating some of the most advanced discoveries in all of science. With the atmosphere of Earth depleting, NASA and private companies are trying to find a planet for humans to inhabit when Earth is no longer an option, according to Levinger (Levinger 1). Without scientist, humans could possibly go extinct if a new home is not found when Earth becomes…
Knowledge and craving for discovery is another benefit to space exploration. By expanding exploration, we could obtain medical sources, which could…
