Scientists are interested in whether water was or is on mars because this is the most direct clue to the signature of life. Scientist’s tests indicate most if not all water is frozen on Mars, but it was not in the distant past during which life could have existed.…
During the Apollo 13 mission, the crew was faced with odds that were not in their favor. They were faced with many uncertainties that would possibly be fatal if they went wrong. It all started when a crew member stirred the o2 tanks, and the tanks burst. With this predicament, they could not possibly land on the moon. Mission Control or "Houston" had to come up with a flawless plan to get the U.S spacemen back to the Earth.…
I’ve attached a Sales internal control questionnaire from another engagement that I think you can use for Apollo. You may want to talk to Karina Ramirez to get answers to the questions.…
Technology has increased fast in the past couple of years. Making research become fast and easier. Finding water on Mars has always been a challenge, but as of last year NASA has found that Mars infact does have water. “In 2015 September NASA announced the finding of what seem to be small amounts of liquid water, just…
There was more to the Apollo program than Neal Armstrong's one small step and more than following 5 lunar landings, anyone could have been a gigantic accomplishment. Apollo started with the Gemini Program also called a technological Warm-up. Neal Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first 2 people on the moon, they landed the Apollo 11 in July 1969. They asked how much air Aldrin and Armstrong carried with them on their moonwalks. The Moon was not a primordial object, but was an evolved terrestrial planet with internal zoning. Apollo Program went for 9 years. Apollo 13 didn't land on the…

The actual launch of the Apollo 13 was on April 11, 1970. Two days into the mission it looked like the smoothest flight that the Apollo program had ever seen. "The spacecraft is in real good shape as far as we are concerned. We're bored to tears down here." said Joe Kerwin of mission control (3). At 55 hours the crew held a TV broadcast for 49 minutes where they showed off their living conditions and how they worked in weightless situations. Nine minutes after the broadcast mission control instructed that Odyssey to give their oxygen tanks a stir and moments later oxygen tank No.2 in the service module exploded, due to an exposed fan wire. The eruption then damaged oxygen tank No.1, causing them to start to lose oxygen rapidly. The cover of…
“One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind” These were the first words said on the moon by Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong. The Apollo program was a series of rocket launches by nasa to get us to our moon, starting with Apollo 1, and leading through to 13, in this essay, you will learn about 3 of the missions.…
The sky is illuminated by the sun, only the size of our moon this far out. The red dust swirls with a gust of wind and your movements are slowed by the weight of your spacesuit. Your progress across the barren desert toward the compound that houses the plants you and your companions need to survive is slow but by now, four months into your new life, you have become used to it. Just eleven months ago you left Earth and started your journey toward what is now your home, the red planet of our solar system, Mars. The year is 2027 and you can’t believe you arrived here at last.…
Amidst the shortcoming of the Cold War, the goal of the 1960’s was “to go above and beyond” in space exploration by successfully landing a man on the moon, which would serve as a gambit to conceivably lead the United States to victory. Before astronauts ventured beyond the earth, scientists had to assess the space environment and the hazards of human exploration. Soon after President John F. Kennedy assumed office in January of 1961, the space race was undoubtedly underway, and the United State’s primary focus was landing a man on the moon--hence, the Apollo Program. These Apollo Missions are significant in that America received technical credibility and hasted the end of the Cold War in our favor. Also, Carole Stott, a long-time astronomer…
During the launch, I saw the Earth from very high up as I launched into space (though the fire emitted by the rocket blocked most of the view). We reached very intense speeds as we left the Earth’s atmosphere. We used a new rocket from SpaceX called the Dragon. This rocket will also be taking us back to earth as it is capable of making a launch and return trip.…
Was the European exploration a good thing? I will be telling you the pros and the cons of the European exploration in the America. Early exploration had not only good but bad effects to.…
Since the beginning of time there have always been those that have opposed exploration of uncharted lands. This statement holds truth also for the NASA program since the beginning when President John F. Kennedy's vision was to land a man on the moon by the end of the decade.' Instead of all the opposition of NASA and questions such as, "Why should we go to space?" I believe people should ask themselves, "Why shouldn't we go to space?" Christopher Columbus didn't have to sail over the Atlantic Ocean and discover America, he could have stayed in Europe but then we may not be living in the United States of America. Christopher Columbus and many others human didn't stop but continued to explore because they are humans. We as humans have an instinctive nature to explore and discover. This is seen especially in children. When toddlers see something such as a shiny object, they investigate it by picking it up, feeling it and maybe tasting it. As we grow, it is only necessary that we as humans continue their search to discover and explore. If the excitement and thrill of exploration isn't enough for you, there are also many benefits that NASA and space exploration contribute.…
Three, two, one, blast off. The ship went up in smoke as it rose to the atmosphere and launched the first satellite into space. This achievement started the Space Race. The race to the Moon would be an excruciating and long task for the U.S. and the Soviet Union.…
July 20, 1989: President Bush uses the 20th anniversary of the first footsteps on the moon to declare that Americans should return, establish a permanent presence there, and go on to Mars (Hartmann). After Bush proposed this idea of creating a permanent colony on the moon to serve as a “pit stop” on the way to Mars, NASA took it as a mandate to start planning. This idea of moon colonies brought upon a mood that was not seen since the days of the Apollo missions. The possibilities of a moon colony are great.…
