First of all‚ scientists set to send a robotic spacecraft to assemble surface material samples from an asteroid near the Earth. Next‚ NASA makes plan to launch Space Launch System and Orion together certain years. Besides‚ in space‚ they want to achieve

There is undeniable physical evidence that the moon landing of 1969 occurred; although many still feel like it was a hoax created by NASA. Some feel as if this was a “Race to Space” competition between countries‚ and the United States could not take that loss. While others feel as if it was cover up for the misuse of government funding.

The Shuttle’s Canadarm took to space for roughly 30 years of successful missions until the technology was finally outdated. Along with the Space Shuttle program after mission STS-135‚ this set the robotic arm for its 90th flight on July 2011. The arm’s legacy lives on‚ as though it is gone‚ it still today has given Canada a good reputation as well as it gaining bonds with NASA and ISS (international space station)

Simply stated‚ but almost impossible to achieve‚ it was the mission NASA had been preparing for almost a decade‚ and nobody was trying to pretend this was just another launch. It would take this rocket ship almost three days to reach the shores of their new world. For the crew on board‚ that ’s when the real mission would
