Owning land in space seems absolutely amazing‚ but is it really that helpful? Owning land in space may not be the best idea in the world. Owning property in space may take away from continuing to do research in space‚ we need room on the planets to do this research‚ and people may make the wrong decision by buying property‚ they may not have enough money to do anything after and that would result in more poor people. Buying and owning land in space may take away from being able to do research. NASA

scheduling backlog pressures. Competition from the European Space Agency put NASA under pressure to come up with a space mission‚ which would hopefully shed light on the ability of NASA to plan commercialized space departures. NASA also had to prove that its program should continue to be funded; another unforeseen pressure pushing NASA to schedule its record number of Space exploration trips that year than in any other year. Also‚ the space shuttle mission scheduled before the Challenger had been delayed

reality. I want to be a part of America’s Space Program. My interest in space and the space program began when I was a small child. Initially I was focused primarily on aircraft and space vehicles‚ especially the Saturn V rocket. My grandfather worked at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration from the day it was founded on October 1‚ 1958‚ until the space shuttle program. He retired as Chief of the Shuttle Simulation Division at the Johnson Space Center in Houston‚ Texas in 1983. So

we should explore the great expanses of the solar system and galaxies because if we do not start now it will only be longer till we unlock the secrets they holds. The benefits for exploring space are extravagant there are asteroids abundant in rare earth metals and other usable elements can be found. Space exploration would eventually lead to colonization of mars‚moon‚ asteroids‚ and other extraterrestrial bodies. It has been part of human nature to explore and colonize the

Space exploration is not worth the cost. Space exploration is not worth the cost because it is not losing the lives of astronauts. It is also not worth the money that is being spent to make the rocket ship. Also there would not be a lot of income. First of all space exploration is not worth the cost because it is not worth losing the lives astronauts lives. Even though there are people willing to go to space they can lose their lives while leaving the atmosphere. An example is the 1986 challenger

Space Exploration: Apollo Missions Space has always interested me and I had a great desire to be an astronomer one day. That has since changed‚ but space is still something I love studying about. Thus this topic was an easy choice. For the Apollo missions‚ it was originally created by NASA to sent a ship to the surface of the Moon and also have it return back to Earth. This was a huge step not only for mankind‚ but for the technology of America in the space race against the SSSR. Some of the questions

Will the Space Elevator ever be a reality? Tim Engstrom The Cost of Space The cost of shipping payloads into space is currently thousands of dollars per kilogram[1]. Rockets are used for this job‚ subjecting the cargo to severe changeable g-forces‚ generating extreme pollution. The cost of launching a satellite by rocket is typically between $50 million and $400 million dollars[2]. Geosynchronous orbits at 35‚786 km are significantly more expensive to achieve than Low Earth orbits at less than

Through time‚ humans have dreamed of travelling across the stars to the exoplanets we’ve spotted far away‚ but such a trip would be very long. Even to travel at the current space speed record to the nearest known exoplanet would take 43‚000 years (4). All that aside; the main issue is sustaining a human population for that long‚ if it were based generation to generation it would take roughly 600 generations of humans before they arrived based on today’s current life expectancy (3). This issue isn’t

The space shuttle‚ Columbia launched on January 16th‚ 2003. On February 1st of the same year‚ the shuttle fell back to Earth at an alarming rate with technical malfunctions. Eventually‚ the space shuttle blew up and unfortunately killed all of the astronauts on board. It was later found that this piece of foam broke off of the external tank during the initial takeoff. As a result‚ gas slowly penetrated the space shuttle. As the space shuttle made its approach‚ readings were lost and eventually communication
