The Space Race was considered an informal competition between the United States and the Soviet Union to see who could make the furthest advancements into space first. The Space Race involved exploring outer space with satellites and sending men to the Moon and bringing them back safely. The Space Race effectively began on October 1‚ 1957 when the Soviets launched the first ever manmade satellite‚ Sputnik.

It involved physically killing seven passengers aboard the space shuttle Challenger and mentally killing their families and close friends that were not aboard. If only NASA had just listen and Morton Thiokol stood by their engineers‚ then maybe those seven passengers

that the engineers need to take into consideration how much pressure is needed to withstand how much wind is going to be pushing the building. Quadratic functions are actually used in NASA. NASA uses those functions to launch their spaceships into space. There is obviously a lot of planning and smarts that have to go into rocket science. The scientists have to take so much into consideration. Like not blowing something/someone up on accident‚ weight‚ height‚ velocity‚ wind..the list goes on and on

What are the major conflicts of the movie and are these conflicts resolved satisfactorily at the end? Would you characterize the ending of the film as happy‚ sad‚ or somewhere in between? Stanley Kubric in the movie “2001: A Space Odyssey” does a great job using as little as possible to make the most out of a movie. What he actually did with the film was make a philosophical statement about man’s place in the universe. He did this by using images and left the movie up for interpretation‚ allowing

Space Shuttle Challenger & Columbia Accidents Engineers have designed the world we live in. They are the ones that research what is safe and what is not‚ they are the ones that bring blue prints to life. However‚ this power can backfire on them. Engineers are expected to create products that are safe for everyone. The engineer affects many people ’s lives. A single fault can possibly result in the death of a person. A serious fault can lead to the deaths of several people. It is of paramount importance
