the moon are being put to use in hospitals to diagnose diseases and illnesses. Without space exploration‚ this could not have happened. Also‚ space exploration has lead to improvements in patient monitoring. In the article “Anniversary Shows Us that NASA and Space Exploration are Worth Their Costs‚” (Fowler‚ pg.3)‚ it says: “We have learned to monitor orbiting astronauts pioneering telemedicine and leading to unprecedented improvements in patient monitoring.” This proves that technology used in space

In 1993‚ Quantum Devices Inc. (QDI) teamed with WCSAR (Wisconsin Center for Space Automation and Robotics)‚ a NASA center for the commercial development of space‚ developed High Emissivity Aluminiferous Light-emitting Substrate technology to provide high-intensity‚ solid-state LED lighting systems for NASA Space Shuttle plant growth experiments. Their goal was to be able to grow plants in space so humans could have longer stays in space shuttles or the International Space Station (ISS). They discovered

Scratch-resistant Lenses Scratch-resistant lenses were developed by NASA by applying a diamond-like lubricating coat over plastic lenses. This application was originally used in the space program in a "dual ion-beam bonding process." Today‚ the coating is still used on hard resin plastic used in most eye glasses that people wear every day. Freeze-Dried Food Humans need food‚ and astronauts in space are no exception. To keep the astronauts food fresh NASA adopted the practice of freeze-drying food. This process

since 1981. Third‚ the shuttles are expensive to run. NASA needs this money for other programs. In 2004‚ President George W. Bush said he wanted astronauts to return to the moon. Eventually‚ he imagined travel to Mars. To do this‚ NASA needed to build a new spaceship. This would be expensive. NASA could no longer spend $4 billion a year on the shuttle program. President Barack Obama has since dropped the moon program. But he believes that NASA should build a giant rocket. This would be used to send

Around 2035 NASA astronaut Mark Watney. A botanist and mechanical engineer have been left by his crew stranded on Mars. after the crew of the Ares 3 mission were made to evacuate their landing site in Acidalia Planitia (On Mars) due to a huge dust storm with high-speed winds. Mark was impaled by an antenna during the evacuation and believed dead. The types of language the author used made me more interested in the book because they would appeal to me more because they seemed more scientific. As

July 1969 which was when the Apollo 11 crew took off from the United States of America and the 20th was when they supposedly landed on the moon. This was also when the conspiracy was erected. It is a conspiracy about an accused moon landing hoax by NASA that involves Neil Armstrong‚ Michael Collins‚ and Edwin Aldrin who are the believed main culprits of this event. But Hundreds of thousands of other people including astronauts‚ scientists‚ engineers‚ technicians‚ and skilled labourers would have helped

raised by Congress‚ the press and engineers within NASA. More importantly‚ many people were looking for a pair of feet to lay the blame. Months later‚ investigators were able to determine that a piece of foam from the shuttle’s gas tank fell off during launch and pierced its left wing. Unfortunately‚ the foam caused enough damage to crack the wing‚ fully exposing it to the hot plasma encountered upon re-entry to Earth. To make matters worse‚ NASA was fully aware that the piece of foam had fallen

I have placed arrows in the text to indicate those sections that are most important. Here Questions to Consider: 1. According to the report‚ what were the causes of the Columbia accident? 2. What were the essential features of the culture at NASA? 3. Which factors played the greatest role in the events leading up to the accident: logical factors‚ such as schedule‚ technicalities of the shuttle design‚ testing‚ or psychological‚ such as politics‚ the perspective of deadlines? 4. What was the
