Robert H. Goddard: Robert H. Goddard is the creator the first liquid-fueled rocket that has changed the usage and abilities of modern day spacecrafts. Although‚ he wasn’t respected during his engineering process‚ Goddard still strived to follow his dream of one day taking a rocket to the moon. ("Robert Goddard"‚ 2008). Robert H. Goddard invented the first liquid-fueled rocket‚ improving upon the previous basic space crafts‚ despite the extremely negative thoughts society had on his ideas as he started

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

from around the world conducted the first unmanned Apollo mission. The main purpose of this was to test the structual integrity of the launch vehicle and spacecraft combination that was proposed. Unfortunetely‚ tragedy struck the Kennedy Space Center on January 27‚ 1967. A fire broke out during a manned launch-pad test of the Apollo spacecraft and Saturn rocket. All three astronauts: Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom‚ Edward H. White II and Roger B. Chaffee were killed. Even with this‚

Apollo One is the name given to the AS-204 spacecraft after it was destroyed by fire during a training exercise. January 27‚ 1967 the crew of Apollo commonly known as Saturn 204 began training for the first Apollo mission. On this mission they were going to orbit Earth‚ they were scheduled to launch February 21. The AS-204 mission was scheduled for the first quarter of 1967‚ having already missed a target date for the last quarter of 1966. The shuttle was placed on launch pad 34 at the Kennedy

Lovell and Haise do not have a strong cohesive relationship with Swigert simply because they have not had the proper amount of time to train with him. The third critical event occurs as the astronauts are performing routine maintenance onboard the spacecraft. Swigert is commanded by Mission Control to ¡°stir the oxygen tanks‚¡± which causes an explosion resulting in a loss of oxygen supply to the astronauts. This incident changes the progress of the
