The Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle In 2011‚ NASA unveiled a new deep-space vehicle called the Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV). NASA officials plan for the Vehicle is for it to send astronauts on voyages to an asteroid and then eventually onto Mars. The idea for this vehicle came from an earlier idea for another spaceship. The designs that the Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle are based on was originally designed for was the Orion spaceship but unfortunately it was part of NASA Constellation program which

One thing no one tells you about miscellaneous action reporting: the workers complicate the reporting process. They tell me I am Alex the “mighty” protector of Apollo-47‚ then ignore me when I am supposed to report something. Sometime later‚ someone came and asked me in room 38‚ where I fill out a survey and go. As I filled out the survey‚ I think: “Why do I have to protect a planet? Why can’t I be a trooper‚ actually doing something!” With my weird habit of remembering all the driver licenses‚ I

That was not the only exploration of the American history‚ another similar disaster was the exploration of a 16 -day mission of the Columbia in 2003‚ when the space shuttle broke apart while re-entering the atmosphere over Texas and killing all seven

Explosion Space Travel. It is a sense of national pride for many Americans. If you ask anyone who was alive at the time‚ they could probably tell you exactly where they were when they heard that Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the Moon. But all of the success in our space programs is overshadowed by tragedy. On January 28‚ 1986‚ one of the worst disasters in our space program’s history occurred. Many people were watching at the moment because it was the highly televised space mission

The benefits of space exploration are vital to our rapidly advancing world. One can say that the benefits resulted from space exploration can better ensure the safety and wellness of individuals‚ and to the well-being and survival of mankind‚ as there are useful spin-off technologies‚ sophisticated satellite technologies‚ and advanced space travelling technologies that can save human lives. I agree for the continuation of space exploration due to these benefits‚ as they greatly exceed any of the

Tim Bruce The subject that I will be focusing on through the course of this extra credit paper‚ is one about the combination of Aerospace Engineering and Chemistry. I chose this particular topic because of my future life goals. Which include getting a degree in aerospace engineering. I also became interested while researching for this paper in a particular sub topic of the two which is called aerothermochemistry. Aerothermochemistry is the study of gases which takes into account the effect
