first man to orbit the earth in 1961. In May of 1961 President John F. Kennedy petitioned congress for $7 billion to $9 billion dollars for the space race and to successfully send a man to the moon and bring him safely home. In roughly eight years‚ NASA was able to produce the desired results when on July 20‚ 1969 Neil Armstrong took “one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind.”

Space exploration is crucial to many people today. Space exploration is worth the cost. One reason why space exploration at extreme conditions is important to humans is because it can generate wealth and it expands our knowledge‚ in other words it helps us seek the unknown. Space exploration is worth the cost because it generates almost as much as twice as much of the money that it actually takes to send the astronauts into space. Expands our knowledge and helps us‚ humans‚ seek the unknown. Scientist

the beginning of time‚ science has never failed to alter our beliefs. From finding out that our planet is round‚ to sending the first person to the moon‚ we continue to grow a better understanding about the world around us. Many organizations such as NASA have helped to shape our perception today. But‚ It was years before that scientists helped to build NASA’s views and fundamental understandings of anatomy‚ and astronomy. The Renaissance helped to change people’s views of the earth surrounding us.

Cassini-Huygens arrived at Saturn‚ which provided amazing photos of the moon’s surface. The first pictures of Titan that had been captured‚ with the first spacecraft to orbit Saturn (Voyager 1)‚ showed the moon as featureless and bland. The scientists at NASA wanted to know more about Titan‚ as it had been talked about for a long time by astronomers observing it from Earth. Cassini performed over 100 flybys of Titan and studied it intensely. Titan also contains lakes‚ not of water‚ but of methane. It is

Even NASA supports such an outlook on space: “Human space exploration helps to address fundamental questions about our place in the Universe and the history of our solar system” (NASA par.2). NASA‚ the world’s leading corporation on space exploration‚ still supports Human Space exploration. Even they consider most knowledge about the universe to be virtually

It’s a story of struggle and willpower‚ but not of individual glory. Set in 1960s Virginia‚ the film centers on three pioneering African American women whose calculations for NASA were integral to several historic space missions‚ including John Glenn’s successful orbit of the Earth. These women—Katherine Johnson‚ Mary Jackson‚ and Dorothy Vaughan—were superlative mathematicians and engineers despite starting their careers in

Man Back to the Moon Never before have so many people been attuned to one event at one time. Millions of people from all across the globe surrounded TV sets and radios to watch and listen in on as the first Earthling took the first steps on the Moon (Nolan). It was on this day in July 1969 that would change the way the world would look at space exploration. New frontiers for mankind opened up and waves of new information came roaring in. Since then‚ in the span of only three years‚ six American

The Space Travel and Research Introduction Space contains the planets‚ countless galaxies and milky ways. Man has been able to go to space and collect pictures of the sun‚ the planets and the moon. Man has landed on the moon and he is trying to find out the existence of life on other planets. Telecommunication‚ weather forecasting‚ radio and television programmes etc. are all monitored by satellites in space. There are also military stations and spy satellites in space which pose a threat

In the past humans have found ways to study space. Countries sent satellites and rocketships with animals in them to space. Finally‚ America decided to send a man to the moon. This person was Neil Armstrong. Because of this‚ Neil Armstrong revolutionized the world with just one step. Armstrong had a good childhood. Armstrong was “born in Wapakoneta‚ Ohio on August 5‚ 1930” (“Neil Armstrong”). Armstrongs parents names are Viola Armstrong and Stephen Armstrong (Hensen 276). Armstrong’s father had
