On September 12‚ 1962‚ President Kennedy gave a groundbreaking speech announcing his goal of placing a man on the moon before the end of the decade. He had previously had a joint session with congress on the matter‚ and after many meetings and long nights studying and worrying he finally decided that a Moon landing was a field in which America had a potential lead. The Americans had watched the Communist SSR put a satellite into orbit‚ the famous Sputnik Satellite on October 4‚ 1957‚ and‚ more recently

The Giant Impact Theory is the most recent precise theory for the formation of the moon so far. The Giant Impact Theory says that the moon was created when debris flew into earths orbiting disk from collisions of a small planet with the earth‚ in result the moon formed.(NASA Lunar Scientists Develop New Theory on Earth and Moon Formation). Plus when these objects collided heated materials came out into space from their outermost layers. This theory is proven because when the two bodies collided this

So it is possible for the mars sized object to knock off a chunk of earth. Scientists have also taken isotopes from the moons titanium and earths and it was a complete match‚ but first the Apollo missions samples of titanium looked different.The scientists had to alter the data to find out the samples were the same due to cosmic rays. Cosmic rays are from high depths in space. The meteorite that struck earth known as Theia‚ was accepted to

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. The problem of overcrowding could be solved. Taking millions of people (over a matter of time) to the moon would greatly reduce the Earth’s rapidly growing population. While the people are

My research paper is on Science‚ Health‚ and Environmental Issues‚ "With so many problems on planet Earth‚ should the United States continue to fund space exploration?" This paper is going to show you some of the advantages and disadvantages of Space Exploration. As one would think‚ there are a lot of ups and downs. We‚ the United States‚ continue to spend millions on millions of dollars to fund space exploration even though‚ we have problems here on Earth such as starvation‚ loss of jobs and poverty

distance to the ocean floor of Europa is unknown‚ it leaves this length up to the creators of the probe. The probe can’t be that larger or heavy because it needs to travel to Europa in order to be useful. This means that the probe cannot go any deeper than 11 kilometers‚ the distance of one on Earth which is too large for space travel (Hsu‚
