For one to truly understand the mind-set of a group of people beliefs‚ one must first understand the dominant values of their culture‚ which is passed down from one generation to the next. After analyzing and identifying for some quite time‚ Sociologist Robin Williams identified fifteen core values for the United States and how they shaped the America that we see today. These values do not apply to everyone in every situation in America and there are exceptions to all of the dominant values. The

The Soyuz 11 Space Disaster: A Case Study in Engineering Disasters ENGG 123 November 20‚ 2011 ABSTRACT In 1971‚ Soyuz 11 was the first manned spaceship to contact the first space station. As the astronauts were preparing to re-enter the earth ’s atmosphere the crew cab depressurized and the astronauts were killed within seconds. This paper will discuss the events that happened and how they were investigated. It will also discuss how the disaster affected future engineering decisions regarding

and facilitated changes to be made to the space program. To make interstellar travel believable NASA was created. The Apollo program was the idea that man could travel‚ walk upon‚ and see the moon. Apollo 13‚ the third human lunar landing and exploration mission‚ had been tentatively scheduled in July 1969 for launch in March 1970‚ but by the end of the year the launch date had been shifted to April. In August 1969 crew assignments for Apollo 13 were announced. The target

Do you think that the space exploration is worth the cost. Do you think that it is worth the resources and lives. I do think it is worth it. It has helped us advance in our technologies. It has helped us discover a lot more. In Kennedy’s speech‚ he says that many people believe that space exploration or sace research has no benefit for us here when they are wrong. He says that just as the wartime development of radar gave us the transistor‚ space research can promise benefits for us who

Beginning of The Future We have made much progress on our knowledge about what is beyond our atmosphere. We have put a man on the moon and have educated our society about our universe. We have built an international space station that allows human beings to live outside our atmosphere for years‚ researching and studying so that we may understand Earth in a much better way. We have learned so much about our world‚ and a lot of it is thanks to the Space Shuttle Program. It has been very efficient

these disruptions. Let people’s curiosity about space bring us together. So it might take 18 months to five years to build a rocket‚ but yet again the discoveries we have made and can learn totally outweigh the time it takes to build them. We‚ as humans‚ have the ability right now to learn so much about our universe and when people say it is a waste of money‚ time‚ and we could be doing other things‚ I say‚ “Would you rather think the universe revolves around us and not know that there might be life

The Constellation program was to further manned space exploration after the completion of the International Space Station. The program was not without vision‚ it wasn’t just about the extended human presence on the moon; rather‚ the moon was a just one goal in a larger mission. This larger mission would move on to new directions and goals. Specifically‚ Mars would be the next stop for a manned mission. It simply wasn’t just one goal to land

of Apollo missions starting in the 1960’s. NASA viewed the Skylab missions as logical successors of the Apollo missions and each of the Skylab missions picked up where the prior one left off. The primary focus of the missions was to determine if humans could in fact live comfortably for extended periods of time in weightless conditions and prior to Skylab‚ there was very little solid research done. Each of the Skylab missions would be longer in length with Skylab 1 starting with 4 weeks followed

The horizontal excavation will be 3m x 9m‚ so that we may have an opportunity in finding hidden chambers or rooms underneath the ceremonial structures. It is very likely that we find human remains in the ceremonial structures because of sacrifice rituals they may have done. The remains will allow us to conduct DNA testing and determine things we could not from other objects. Through Aerial Photography we can view surrounding areas without
