citizens the relevance of space programs. A question that has been rising over the years is‚ is going into space programs worth it? Many can argue that it is a scrupulous field to join and that it’s risky. However‚ any type of job you do is treated as taking a risk. In today’s society‚ space programs should be given an opportunity to help those who are interested within the field because one can learn many unique ways to determine the impossibilities. In my opinion‚ American space programs should

Public space provides the grounds for cities to be seen and experienced. Whether it is a square‚ a market‚ or a park‚ public space in cities has been noted as the place where ideas are exchanged‚ city identity is built and citizenship is learned (Carr et al.‚ 1992; Low‚ 2000; Goodsell‚ 2003). Such places are important and even necessary for citizens to enjoy a good quality of life and well-being (Relph‚ 1993). Historically‚ public places have played an important role in cities in many cultures

International Space Station The International Space Station (ISS) is a habitable artificial satellite in low Earth orbit. It speeds around the earth from hundreds of miles up. “On January 29‚ 1998‚ fifteen countries signed the intergovernmental agreements (IGA) establishing the framework for cooperation among the partners on the design‚ development‚ operation and utilization of the Space Station.” (“Partner Signs ISS”). The idea for using the ISS is as a platform to explore the Moon‚ Mars and

The Space Race can be defined as the international competition of aerospace exploration. The two major competitors being‚ the United States and Russia. The Space Race took place during a very heated era for both countries. The tensions were particularly high between these two rivals due to the Cold War. Both nations were determined to win the race no matter the costs or the numerous failures; the winner would gain a huge psychological victory. Although there were repercussions to the Space Race‚

THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE Telescopes have only been around for about 400 years. Since then‚ they have evolved quickly and helped astronomers make remarkable discoveries. Ground based telescopes were the first‚ but we needed a way to observe the cosmos in the vacuum of space‚ without the light pollution and atmosphere of earth. The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was the tool that helped propel astronomy to the next level. It has helped us understand the universe in new ways‚ but Hubble

From the perspective of a sociologist‚ whose job it is include the origins‚ development‚ organization‚ networks‚ and institutions to study social behavior or society‚ funding NASA would be a wise choice because we could have space colonies creating many benefits for society and people.

brought on the “Space Race.” There’s little clarity on where the race would end‚ but it’s generally regarded that the race was one to land on the moon. Although it was a product of war‚ the space race was a great thing. It pushed both sides to rapidly develop space technology and exploration to new limits at every turn. Every time Russia won a milestone‚ America pushed harder‚ eventually winning the race to land on the moon. Without the space race‚ the world’s ability to explore space would be light
