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

Space technology has benefited our modern society. To what extent has it benefitted us? (Word Count: -25) This picture of our blue planet has become so mundane that even grade school students would cease to be mesmerised by it. Thanks to daily real-time forecast on TV‚ the picture of mother earth has almost become ho-hum. Weather forecast has improved to a point where we take the forecast for granted. Without realising it‚ the technological spin-offs from Space Program (spinoff.nasa.gov) of the

at various Mars-related tasks in the Chile Atacama desert. Independently‚ US space organization NASA in February completed its second period of work on penetrating for tests in the earth of Chile Atacama desert with exceptionally composed wanderers. When life exists or ever existed on Mars‚ the planet’s surface dryness and broad (daylight) radiation introduction would likely drive it underground‚ NASA said in a report. That makes areas like the Atacama great spots to work on searching for life on

meteor the size of Texas is careening towards the earth. NASA scientists discover it after a meteor shower destroys the Space Shuttle Atlantis‚ killing the entire crew. They only have 18 days before the asteroid destroys the earth. NASA devises a plan to insert a nuclear bomb 800 feet inside the asteroid‚ when detonated‚ will split the asteroid into two pieces that will safely fly past the Earth. Harry Stamper (Bruce Willis) is asked by NASA to help because he is considered the best deep sea oil driller

study and photograph the Earth‚ stars‚ and planets from space‚ and do research on space exploration. Also‚ they make sure all missions are carried out as planned and in safety. Astronauts labor in classrooms‚ flight simulators‚ space shuttles‚ and for NASA. They like to work with many flight instruments‚ onboard systems‚ spacecraft‚ spacesuits‚ and emergency equipment. For being an astronaut‚ you need to be gifted and inquisitive about outer space. You need to be superior students in school‚ be self-reliant

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

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
