such space investments so far don’t justify the expense. They suspect that many of the tests on new materials and purer crystals could somehow be performed on earth for much lower costs‚ either through automated systems on less-expensive unmanned rockets or even in laboratories. They further state that in their opinion it is reckless to spend such enormous sums of money on something with uncertain return when there are so many unmet needs here on earth.The proponents of manned space programs have

This week’s class was about disaster due to error in engineering design. The example we focus on was the Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster in January 28‚ 1986. It was a disaster that really touch the public. Unfortunately‚ all the seven members of the crew including the teacher Sharon Christa McAuliffe died. She was the first civilian astronaut from the President Ronald Reagan project the TISP: Teacher In Space Program. The Space Shuttle Challenger was NASA’s second space shuttle orbiter to be put

The tone also changes in both poems‚ which begin as harsh‚ but changes to a peaceful and gentle tone as the topic of the poem shifts to nature. When speaking of rockets Hans uses diction to create a harsh‚ critical tone by using phrases like “tore a tunnel” and “wings of fire.” However‚ when speaking of a seedling she creates a calm and peaceful tone with phrases like “urged its way” and “fueled only by a thought

As part of the Rocket Team of the Science Club for Girls‚ a program that promotes more girls in science‚ I am well aware of how women are still put aside in the science world below the surface of wide recognition. The engineering laboratory that our rocket team uses does not have small-sized lab gloves‚ even though there are some‚ though relatively few‚ female engineers working in the

1.1 GRAVITY AND GRAVITATIONAL FIELDS 1.1.1 Define weight as the force on an object due to a gravitational field. Weight is the force experienced by an object due to the presence of a gravitational field. This force is directly related to the strength of the gravitational field acting on an object and the mass of that object. m = mass‚ g = acceleration due to gravity m = mass‚ g = acceleration due to gravity Fg = mg Fg = mg 1.1.2 Explain that a change in gravitational
