Skeptics may argue that there was probably more effort put into the rocket because of its cost. Well‚ according to “seven minutes of terror”‚ the curiosity rover itself costs “2 billion dollars”. But according to NASA‚ an average rocket/space shuttle launch costs about 450 million dollars. This proves that Curiosity is much more expensive and‚ therefore‚ had harder work put into it. The second reason

Or if you watched a rocket launch into space have you wondered how it can even make it past earth? The answer to those questions is boron (B). Boron is a metalloid element with an atomic number of 5 and an atomic mass of 10.81. Its melting point is 2076 C and its boiling point is 3927 C. In 1808‚ Sir Humphrey Davy in France discovered this element when he reacted boric acid

From the perspective of scientific advances‚ rocket scientists‚ including Wernher von Braun‚ were brought to Fort Bliss in Texas and White Sands Proving Grounds in New Mexico to help the United States experiment with different rockets - von Braun later became a director of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center.

cause of the problem seems to be that O-rings on the solid rocket boosters were not designed to work in the cold temperatures that was apparent on the day of the launch. This lead to the failure of the O-ring in the right solid rocket booster which then lead to the explosion 73 seconds after launch. Furthermore‚ this design malfunction was known to the engineers at Morton Thiokol‚ the company that was contracted to build the solid rocket boosters. These engineers had reported their concerns to their

Perhaps the most recognizable result of this oversight towards safety concerns in the NASA workforce‚ was the loss of the
