The first step on the moon‚ the first call on the telephone‚ the first racially-integrated school: what do they all have in common? All were made possible by people who thought outside the box and dared to do “the impossible.” Walt Disney once said‚ “It’s kinda fun to do the impossible.” Doing the impossible is not only fun‚ but a necessity‚ in contemporary times. Progress stems from outside-the-box thinking; however‚ in modern society‚ conformity is the norm‚ but doing the impossible is necessary

The space suit is not just another layer of clothing it is much more. It allows the astronauts to explore into space‚ go to moon‚ enter orbit‚ and renter earth safely.

To humans‚ exploring and needing to know what is beyond the horizon is part of our nature. In July 2015‚ we watched the spacecraft‚ New Horizons‚ reach Pluto after nine years and three billion miles. As a result‚ we learned that Pluto is not just a giant ball of ice‚ but has a molten core just like Earth‚ and may have the right ingredients to possibly hold life. Although this sparked a possibility of life outside of earth; we should start exploring at our oceans first. It is part of human nature

Why you shouldn’t go to Mars. The astronauts were about to be hit by a large storm. They had no choice. All if not most will be hurt or killed. They have a low chance of surviving. Nasa should not continue Mars Exploration. It costs too much‚ we don’t have the technology and we have many problems here at Earth. What is the point? Nasa astronauts shouldn’t go to Mars because it costs too much. According to Space News‚ it’d cost more than $100 billion before the first Mars mission. Instead of using

Apollo Space Missions The Apollo Missions I feel weren’t exactly a discovery‚ they were a challenge issued by President John F. Kennedy in 1961. His challenge directed NASA to send‚ and land a man on the moon‚ then bring them home without harm. He also directed NASA to do this within before 1970. One of the main questions that was asked of the Apollo Space Program was could the feat of sending a man to space be achieved by the end of the decade. Another was‚ is the price of sending a manned

Dr. Stephen Petranek said‚ ”Some of the greatest advantages in civilization and technology‚ came because we explored.” Humans should not colonize Mars. If humans colonized Mars‚ humans would barely be able to survive. Mars lacks two very crucial products to survive‚ food and oxygen. Humans of the future would not benefit with colonizing Mars because humans who go to Mars‚ will have a risky voyage‚ there is not oxygen‚ and it will cost a lot of money to arrive on Mars. The voyage to Mars is very risky
