Space Exploration and Colonization: Using Technology and Human Enhancements in our Race for Space Since the beginning of man ’s existence on this earth‚ the night time sky has held awe and wonder. The questions of what may exist have long been pondered and are chronicled throughout the written history of our species. Technology and science allowed early scientists to prove the sun as the center of the solar system as well as many planets besides earth orbiting that very sun. It later allowed

There are two different coordinate systems to locate stars in the sky: 1. Right Ascension-Declination • Vernal equinox is where the ecliptic and celestial equator meet. • Ecliptic is the apparent path of the Sun in one year (it is also along the plane in which the Earth revolves around the Sun). • Right ascension is analogous to longitude and is measured in hours‚ minutes‚ and seconds‚ from the point of vernal equinox. • Declination is analogous to latitude and is measured in degrees from the

travel into outer space or even go the moon? Many people dream of space travel‚ but you can ’t just fly there in a jet plane. Jet engines work by using oxygen from the air to burn their fuel. And of course there is little or no oxygen in space depending on where you ’re headed. Fuel cannot burn without oxygen. The only kind of engine that will work in space is called a rocket engine. This is because it carries its own oxygen supply. This is also where the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
