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

The NASA project New Horizon may build on its successes via Kuiper Belt flyby. The New Horizon team of researchers also plans to study MU69 in more depth. Could this be another secret alien space mission? New Horizon had recent success after it accomplished its Pluto flyby without crashing or deviating from its scheduled course. This has been impressive for NASA‚ given the distance from Earth to Pluto. However‚ there may be more at stake for the MU69 mission. Maybe NASA is looking to make contact

Space orbital tourism Space tourism has been an emerging trend in our NASA organization as a means to supplement their budget as well as expand our reach in space. Combining forces with our neighboring countries we have come together to ensure a safe‚ clean‚ and improved future. Searching for sustainable energy sources‚ developing cutting edge technology and manufacturing stronger more durable building materials to protect and carry us into the next generation.

is approximately 1‚200 light-years away from Earth towards the Lyra constellation. Kepler-62f is unique due to it being 40 percent larger than Earth. With that and it’s planetary range‚ scientists believe it may possess oceans‚ and maybe even life. NASA discovered the planet back in 2013 but at the time‚ did not reveal any information about its atmosphere. Suddenly‚ they know that Kepler-62f ha a warm atmosphere. Warm enough to have surface water. If this is true‚ it’s possible many other exoplanets

in capsules. After many disastrous events happened in the NASA space program‚ there was one real problem that needed to be faced. NASA was trying to get to the moon and land a lunar mission before the Soviet Union. The Americans began to exchange different ideas to get to the Moon faster and more efficiently than the Russians. The U.S. had now caught themselves up in a lunar competition for a race to the moon. President Kennedy pushed NASA to put a man on the moon before anyone else‚ and with a bigger

country’s economy that consists of privately owned enterprises First‚ there is a widespread agreement among the public and private sector investments that NASA does not have the resources to do all of the things it has been asked to do. Truth be told‚ there is not much confidence among these sectors that the political process within Washington will give NASA what it needs to succeed. The government does not have enough money to consistently fund the space exploration in public sector due to the budget deficit

benefits outweigh the cost for funding exploration and expansion into space? From the perspective of a sociologist‚ whose job it is include the origins‚ development‚ organization‚ networks‚ and institutions to study social behavior or society‚ funding NASA would be a wise choice because we could have space colonies creating many benefits for society and people. The article “Food‚ Leisure‚ And Social Life In Space Colonies” by Tom Marotta‚ a diplomat and city planner‚ made this position clear by presenting
