were not in their favor. They were faced with many uncertainties that would possibly be fatal if they went wrong. It all started when a crew member stirred the o2 tanks‚ and the tanks burst. With this predicament‚ they could not possibly land on the moon. Mission Control or "Houston" had to come up with a flawless plan to get the U.S spacemen back to the Earth. How is free-fall associated in the re-entry of a spacecraft? Free-fall is arguably the most important aspect of space travel. The free-fall

detrimental issue was that of how to get back home. The solution was to go past and then around the moon to get back on track to Earth. This was a risky solution because it lengthened the journey even more‚ but the flight commander had to make a choice. The solutions were somewhat irrational because everyone was feeling the pressure and just wanted to get them home anyway possible. The Module made it around the moon‚ but later it got off track and would bounce off the Earths atmosphere’s into space forever

The Raccoon & The Squirrel (The Priest Story) Once upon a time deep in the forest lived a raccoon named Simon who is a mischievous fellow that steals food occasionally from the farmer’s land. On every full moon Simon would quietly sneak into the farmer’s land and steal some of the ripe vegetables and fruits leaving his home unguarded. While Simon is busy stealing food‚ Ruphis the squirrel who recently moved into the forest noticed Simon’s daily routines and started to loot Simon’s home and takes

On July 20‚ 1969‚ Astronauts Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin and Neil Armstrong of Apollo 11 landed on the moon. A few years later on December 14‚ 1972‚ the astronauts of Apollo 17 became the last manned mission to the moon. It seems inconceivable that 43 years later‚ these footprints left by Apollo 17 astronauts were the last of any man. Even more disturbing is the lack of a permanent commemoration or memorial to the accomplishment of those 12 astronauts that made the perilous journey. With all of the

gravitational forces of the sun and moon. All physical objects attract each other with gravity‚ but the strength of the force depends upon the mass and distance of the objects. The shorter the distance or greater the mass‚ the stronger the gravity. Both the sun and moon have gravitational pulls on the Earth‚ but the strength of the moon’s pull is stronger than the sun’s because it is much closer to the Earth. The moon pulls the ocean water on the side of the Earth facing the moon more strongly than it pulls

Introduction "Gravity is a force of attraction that exists between any two masses‚ any two bodies‚ any two particles. Gravity is not just the attraction between objects and the Earth. It is the attraction that exists between all objects". (NASA gravity 2000) Gravity is a very essential part of life on earth. We are in the exact position in the sun’s gravitational field to keep us in orbit and keep life ongoing on our planet. Gravity is a downward force on any body of mass‚ the larger the mass of

First‚ I will explain how the actions of the USSR started The Space Race. Next‚ how the United States developed NASA and eventually landed the first man on the moon. Finally‚ the technologies that were developed for space travel and have now become household items we all use in everyday life. In the 1950’s‚ America was in an upswing. After the victory in WWll‚ the economy was rapidly expanding‚ the baby boom had begun and Levittown was built as an example of suburban living. In a different part

7.1 Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation states that: Every particle attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Consider two particles of masses m1 and m2 separated by a distance r. Each will exert a force F on the other‚ given by where F : gravitational force between the two particles. m1‚ m2 : masses of the
