Civilians in Space---No! I can only imagine what it would be like traveling to space. It is not something I sit around and think about doing. Those who had the pleasures of going to space‚ like the astronauts‚ are those who had been preparing for such a career. This does not make me want to go to space‚ going to space is like dying and going to the other side‚ you just do not know what to expect. Science tells us that space is like a never ending hole. This sounds a little creepy‚ but space really

The space suit is not just another layer of clothing it is much more. It allows the astronauts to explore into space‚ go to moon‚ enter orbit‚ and renter earth safely. In the early stage of NASA‚ or National Aeronautics and Space Administration‚ they had the rocket and all other key elements‚ except a working and reliable space suit to allow astronauts in and out of the spacecraft. The requirements of NASA for the space suits wear protection from the astronauts from getting either hot or cold;

Why you shouldn’t go to Mars. The astronauts were about to be hit by a large storm. They had no choice. All if not most will be hurt or killed. They have a low chance of surviving. Nasa should not continue Mars Exploration. It costs too much‚ we don’t have the technology and we have many problems here at Earth. What is the point? Nasa astronauts shouldn’t go to Mars because it costs too much. According to Space News‚ it’d cost more than $100 billion before the first Mars mission. Instead of using

Space Privatization With NASA landing their last space mission‚ the idea of making space exploration private comes into consideration. In my opinion‚ I believe that space travel should not become privatized. If it does become private‚ NASA’s efforts might fail repetitively‚ there’s too much people requesting to go into space along with too much money and effort to build these space crafts‚ and it is very dangerous for unprepared people to go into space. First of all‚ the efforts put into private

“That’s one small step for man‚ one giant leap for mankind.” These are the exact words spoken by astronaut Neil Armstrong when he and his crew landed “The Eagle” on the moon’s surface. This “giant leap” led to many great expeditions that furthered the exploration of space. Because Armstrong‚ Aldrin‚ and Collins were very brave traveling up to space‚ a whole new perspective of the world opened up for the people of America. The best cause of the first Moon walk would be NASA’s goals. NASA’s goals
