vast expands of space. They foreshadow an understanding of space that humans seem very far from. But‚ how far are we truly from that point? The only way to find out would to be to continue the complicated research of space that has been going on since the space race. However space exploration is surrounded with controversy which may possibly affect the growth of the knowledge of space. The prior benefits and consequences of space exploration now affect the present and future of space exploration.

Living in space Living in space is not the same as living on Earth. In space‚ astronauts’ bodies change. On Earth‚ our lower body and legs carry our weight. This helps keep our bones and muscles strong. In space‚ astronauts float. They do not use their legs much. Their lower backs begin to lose strength. Their leg muscles do too. The bones begin to get weak and thin. This is very bad for astronauts’ bodies. They must exercise in space every day. Hygiene. On Earth‚ people need to

travel to space and back. But today it is happening and it is called space tourism. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s movie‚ ‘Total Recall’ had space tourism as a central theme. Such tourism however is the privilege of the hugely wealthy for it costs a lot of money. On April 28‚ 2001‚ Dennis Tito‚ a California-based multi-millionaire became the first paying space tourist. He paid $20 million for the trip! Tito travelled on a Russian Soyuz capsule launched by an American company called Space Adventures

Response 1: Dave Gilbert’s “Space Harpoon Plan to Nail Orbital Garbage” Summary The article Space Harpoon Plan to Nail Orbital Garbage talks about this invention called a “space harpoon” that will eliminate only some of the space debris that is in earth’s low orbit. There is a lot of space debris that can cause future problems with the everyday technology that people use. An engineer‚ by the name of Jaime Reed‚ warns that the low-earth orbit may become unusable from the space junk if not removed. It

to look superior to non-communist countries. Thus the Space Race was essentially a competition between the United States and the USSR to see who could make the most progression in space exploration to impress the world. This Space Race however‚ did cost both the United States and the Soviet Union a good deal of money‚ but the cost of the Space Race was worth the outcome and benefits. Perhaps one of the most significant motivations of the Space Race was to ultimately beat the Soviet Union (“McNamara”)

INTRODUCTION Space exploration is the investigation of physical conditions in space and on stars‚ planets‚ and their moons through the use of artificial satellites (spacecraft that orbit the earth)‚ space probes (spacecraft that pass through the solar system and that may or may not orbit another celestial body)‚ and spacecraft with human crews.( http://education.yahoo.com/reference/encyclopedia/entry?id=44593) As a senior officer with Malaysia National Space Agency (MNSA)‚ I was invited by the English

Public Space Tourism “The idea gradually dawned around the turn of the twentieth century that the rocket was the key to space travel.” (History of Rocketry and Space Travel) Then in 1969‚ Lance Armstrong and Apollo 11 landed on the mood for the first time. Now over 40 years later‚ the thought of public tourism into outer space has become a reality. A big turning point in public space tourism was the SpaceX competition‚ which was held on October 4‚ 2004. There was a $10‚000‚000 prize to the

Government Support A Manned Space Program at the Expense of the U.S. Tax Payers?1. The Man In Space ControversyShould the United States support a "Man In Space" program? Opinions here diverge‚ with opponents and proponents presenting strong arguments on both sides.The opponents like to point out how enormously expensive manned space operations are with every shuttle flight costing tax payers some $500‚000‚000 and with the anticipated bill for the international space station expected to be $35-40

evaluation of this subject. I am going to talk about space exploration. It might be useful to start with a brief outline of my presentation. Firstly I will talk about history of space exploration‚ secondly I will mention first flights and first human flights and lastly I will tell you something about the future of space exploration. If you may have any questions please ask them at the end of my presentation. So let me start with history of space exploration From our small world we have gazed upon

Introduction A space suit is a garment worn to keep a human alive in the harsh environment of outer space‚ vacuum and temperature extremes. Space suits are often worn inside spacecraft as a safety precaution in case of loss of cabin pressure‚ and are necessary for extra-vehicular activity (EVA)‚ work done outside spacecraft. Space suits have been worn for such work in Earth orbit‚ on the surface of theMoon‚ and en route back to Earth from the Moon. Modern space suits augment the basic pressure garment
