Two minutes remaining. Exactly two minutes until I had to be observed and judged by some of the most highly-recognized scientists and engineers in the United States. There wasn’t a lot of time to contemplate on how I would properly address myself. No time at all. It was a Thursday afternoon at NASA Langley Research Center‚ where my team was about to go up and present our theoretical plan on how to gain public approval ratings and support for the mock mission to Mars. Most of my team members‚ including

Meteorology Mission During the Mars meteorology mission‚ NASA computers had made a mistake. The conversion to metric units from English was never converted. The wrong measurements had failed to launch up a space craft causing an accident. The weather orbit that was supposed to go into space never went. The failed meteorology mission of 1999 was caused by a machine error due to a computer not converting English units to metric units. Scientists didn’t realize the mistake until they tried to send

Many problem skills had to be used and improvised during the movie‚ Apollo 13‚ but the one that amazed me was when Jim and Fred had to manually adjust the ship. I believe this held a significant amount of importance for getting the astronauts home. Everyone knew that to be able to reenter the earth’s atmosphere the ship only had a tiny amount of room for error. When NASA informed the astronauts that they needed to do another burn‚ but they don’t have enough power to start up the ship for the computers

Technology: Scratch-resistant Lenses Scratch-resistant lenses were developed by NASA by applying a diamond-like lubricating coat over plastic lenses. This application was originally used in the space program in a "dual ion-beam bonding process." Today‚ the coating is still used on hard resin plastic used in most eye glasses that people wear every day. Freeze-Dried Food Humans need food‚ and astronauts in space are no exception. To keep the astronauts food fresh NASA adopted the practice of freeze-drying

Who would ever imagine that the begging of aerospace and the landing on the moon was going to be forty-three years before that the Apollo landed on the moon. What is even more surprising that this was going too occurred in a simple farm. Robert Goddard was a pioneer in Aerospace who was often ridiculed by many editorial and most American scientists. Most off them did not believe on his theories and nobody never took the initiative to do a bigger research in rockets with liquid-propellants. Robert

"In 1967‚ the outer space treaty was signed by one hundred countries‚including the United States...In 1979another treaty‚ known as the Moon Treaty was proposed."This is stated in the story "Can you Own Land in Outer Space?"This story tells us we can own land in outer space but‚ the question is should we?

The Cold War was a period of military and political tension between the United States and the Soviet Union after World War II. When Ronald Reagan ran for President‚ he strongly campaigned against the growth of communism. He was convinced that most of America ’s problems in the world could be traced to the Soviet Union ’s determination to extend its influence abroad through military pressure and communist-instigated revolutions. Reagan left no doubt to the American people where he stood on the matter
