The Space Shuttle Program; Beginning of The Future We have made much progress on our knowledge about what is beyond our atmosphere. We have put a man on the moon and have educated our society about our universe. We have built an international space station that allows human beings to live outside our atmosphere for years‚ researching and studying so that we may understand Earth in a much better way. We have learned so much about our world‚ and a lot of it is thanks to the Space Shuttle Program

It compared people’s immediate recollections and then their later recollections two and a half years after the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. It was suggested that people’s memories of the event and how they had heard about it deteriorated considerably. It could be suggested that in the space of the two and a half years more

direction of the National Aeronautics Space Administration outlines a key issue within today’s society. In 2011‚ NASA decided‚ after much deliberation‚ to disband their space shuttle program. The reason related to the cost of maintenance and funding of the program. NASA currently focused on deep space exploration rather than more reasonable and cost effective trips to the International space station. However‚ commercialization of space travel and development of a space destination for tourists has the

biggest migrations in human history (thus far)‚ however‚ are the voyages into space. This would not have been remotely possible without NASA. The NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) Space Program began in 1958. NASA was formed to create public interest in space exploration‚ as well as to conduct scientific research. Throughout the years‚ NASA has accomplished several tasks. Although they lost the space race with the Soviet Union‚ they were the first to successfully send a man to

On February 1‚ 2003‚ the space shuttle titled Columbia disintegrated upon reentry. People watched in horror as what seemed to be a meteor came falling from the sky while breaking apart over Louisiana. At exactly 8:59 EST over Texas and Louisiana‚ the Space Shuttle Columbia entered earth’s atmosphere to begin reentry. As it entered the dead zone‚ nobody could contact the shuttle as it began to disintegrate around the crew. When it entered orbit again it exploded and fell in Nacogdoches. The craft

My path towards a career leads me to be an astronaut. Some of the work tasks are members of a space shuttle crew that orbits the Earth and flies to space stations‚ study and photograph the Earth‚ stars‚ and planets from space‚ and do research on space exploration. Also‚ they make sure all missions are carried out as planned and in safety. Astronauts labor in classrooms‚ flight simulators‚ space shuttles‚ and for NASA. They like to work with many flight instruments‚ onboard systems‚ spacecraft‚ spacesuits
