...Apollo's four main goals went beyond landing Americans on the moon and returning them safely to Earth. One goal was to establish the technology to meet other national interests in space. Another objective includes achieving preeminence in space for the United States. To carry out a program of scientific exploration of the Moon was very important to achieve and recognize. Lastly, developing man's capability to work in the lunar environment was crucial. Skylab is America’s first space station. It was reported that “the Skylab Program was truly making new pathways in the sky." “Skylab orbited the Earth from 1973 to 1979. The 169,950-pound space station included a workshop, a solar observatory, a multiple docking adapter and systems to allow three crews to spend up to 84 days in space.” Skylab 2 was introduced May 25, 1973. Skylab three, four, and five were later introduced down the road. Skylab’s goal was to develop science-based human space missions using hardware originally developed for the effort to land astronauts on the moon.” Skylab 2 had primary goals, including – “studies in materials processing in microgravity, Earth observations, expanding knowledge of solar astronomy, and proving that humans could live and work in space for extended periods.” The Space Shuttle Program (SSP) includes humanity's first reusable spacecraft, accomplishing a routine transportation for Earth-to-orbit crew and cargo. This program had an era that took place from its first launch on April 12, 1981...

...The motivation of the astronauts in SkyLab 3 was particularly affected adversely by personal and task conflict between the team of astronauts and the team on the ground in mission control. Were a lengthy and meaningful sit-down meeting prior to launch implemented, parties on both sides would have an opportunity to voice concerns over the mission. There existed an evident lack of trust between the astronauts and mission control in SkyLab 3; while the astronauts were voicing their concerns over the amount of time they spent working, they felt effectively ignored by Hutchinson who continued to schedule lengthy workdays. The astronauts likely found Hutchinson insensitive to their needs, leading to personal conflict between them. A sit-down meeting prior to launch would help to build a climate of trust between these two parties and enforce an atmosphere wherein both the astronauts and mission control feel comfortable both voicing their concerns and addressing the concerns of the others. While Hutchinson’s apparent insensitivity during SkyLab 3 in this regard contributed to a deficiency of the astronauts’ motivation so intense that the astronauts felt it appropriate to stop working entirely and go on strike. The enforcement of a climate of trust via this meeting would ideally make Hutchinson more prone to heeding the comments of the astronauts and reduce the incidence of personal conflict; the astronauts will then feel...

...Under the authority of Wernher Von Braun, Werner Dahm contributed greatly to American research after being recruited via Operation Paperclip. This included work on the V-2 ballistic missile, Saturn V booster rocket, aerothermodynamics, and liquid hydrogen propellant systems. The team proceeded to help launch America’s NASA program once developed and Dahm worked on Marshall as well where he continued to work on the Saturn V rocket which a decade later sent Americans to the moon. The Soviet’s failure to build a comparable launcher played a role in the abandonment of putting humans on the moon. He continued to work on projects like the space shuttle and Skylab. Dahm continued to work primarily for NASA until he was 89 years...

...government that is responsible for the nation's civilian space program and for aeronautics and aerospace research. Since February 2006, NASA's mission statement has been to "pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research. President Eisenhower established NASA in 1958 with a distinctly civilian (rather than military) orientation encouraging peaceful applications in space science. The National Aeronautics and Space Act was passed on July 29, 1958, replacing its predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). The agency became operational on October 1, 1958. Since that time, most U.S. space exploration efforts have been led by NASA, including the Apollo moon-landing missions, the Skylab space station, and later the Space Shuttle. Currently, NASA is supporting the International Space Station and is overseeing the development of the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle and Commercial Crew vehicles. The agency is also responsible for the Launch Services Program (LSP) which provides oversight of launch operations and countdown management for unmanned NASA launches. Most recently, NASA announced a new Space Launch System that it said would take the agency's astronauts farther into space than ever before and provide the cornerstone for future human space exploration efforts by the U.S. NASA science is focused on better understanding Earth through the Earth Observing System, advancing heliophysics through the efforts of the Science...

The Saturn V (spoken as "Saturn five") was an American human-rated expendable rocket used by NASA between 1966 and 1973. The three-stage liquid-fueled launch vehicle was developed to support the Apollo program for human exploration of the Moon, and was later used to launch Skylab, the first American space station. The Saturn V was launched 13 times from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida with no loss of crew or payload. The Saturn V remains the tallest, heaviest, and most powerful rocket ever brought to operational status and still holds records for the heaviest payload launched and...

...Abstract This essay touches on the issue of NASA funding. It tries to persuade NASA as well as the government to increase funding for NASA’s manned space missions. It uses substantial evidence from many sources to help make its argument valid as well as persuasive. Within the essay there is a brief introduction stating the thesis for the topic followed by a background section. This section helps to better explore the topic at hand. The main body of the argument revolves around the reasons with evidence for the thesis statement with refutation. Finally, the conclusion draws everything together by restating the thesis with reasons, and helping to better answer the question of whether funding should be increased for the space program. Introduction “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind!” These words of Neil Armstrong as he took his first steps onto the moon signified one of the greatest achievements of the modern world, and the American space program. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration have been responsible for many stupendous achievements not only for the U.S., but for humans abroad. As of February 2006, their mission statement has been to, “pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research.” What is the ultimate goal of NASA’s work? Do all of the discoveries we make benefit the general population? Will exploring the universe and searching for life on other planets help us gain the big picture of where we...

...commercial flight, doubling passenger capacity and increasing flight range to 6,000 miles. The neutron bomb, which destroys living beings but leaves buildings intact, was developed. In medicine, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology was developed to help in diagnosis. The discovery of recombinant DNA technology in 1973 led to research in genetic engineering. This was soon halted pending development of safer techniques. The first test tube baby, Louise Brown, was born, developed from an artificially inseminated egg implanted in the mother's womb. Other noteworthy developments of the 1970s included these inventions or innovations: email (1971), first retail barcode scanned (1974), the laser printer (1971), and the first space lab (USA Skylab, 1973). Additionally, the electronic book was invented in 1971, eventually resulting in Project Gutenberg, the largest collection of online books.

...Astronomy SPACE EXPLORATION: FROM THE PAST TO THE FUTURE Ever since the beginning of time, mankind has been fascinated with wonders of space. Before the mid-1900s, all mankind could do was gaze at the stars from Earth and wonder what it would be like to go into space. Man would look through telescopes and make theories on how the universe worked. During the mid-1900s, mankind finally was able to send a man into space and explore the wonders of space first hand. So why do humans explore space? Well, it is our fascination with the unknown. At first, all mankind did was look up and wonder how things became what they are now. We started to think that all celestial bodies revolved around the Earth, and the Earth was the center of the entire universe. Galileo Galelie later disproved this theory. Even with growing knowledge in the field, it was not until 1957 when the first Earth orbiter, the Soviet’s Sputnik 1, was sent into space and placed in orbit at an altitude of 1,370 miles and weighed ! 184 pounds. Later in that year, the Soviets sent Sputnik 2 into space with a dog named Laika. Laika was the first animal to venture into space. Then in 1985, the United States successfully sent their very own satellite into space. In 1960, the Soviets launched to dogs into space and successfully returned them to Earth. From this point started the space race. The space race was a challenge between the USSR and the United States to see who could land a man on the moon first. In 1961, the...

...to express the truth. On the other hand the ministries of the information argue that they have given extra ordinary freedom to the press. In fact these two opinions are the two extremes. The situation is in between these two states. Media insists on knowing more and more in order to astonish their viewers and readers. There is a lot of evidence that media aggrandize the matters always or conceal facts due to some overt purposes. Each and every country has formulated laws to control the media. There is code of conduct for the journalists everywhere but many a journalist does not observe this code just for winning the report. There are also many evidences that media created stir among the masses without any basis. The decades old stunt of Skylab and oft quoted aliens with their flying chariots are a few examples. The media crosses its limits and the states act. Sometimes the dictators clip the feathers of the...

I will analyze the reasons why NASA allowed this aircraft to take off, and the reason why it should not have. I will also research the aftermath and how this huge error could have been avoided. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration was created on October 1, 1958 by the President of the United States and Congress. It was to provide research into the problems of flight within and outside the Earth’s atmosphere. The main reason NASA was invented was due to World War 2. The United States and the Soviet Union were engaged in a cold ward. During this time, space exploration become the one of the highest priority discussions. This became known as the space race. (American Psychological Association, 2011) The United States launched its first Earth satellite on January 31, 1958. It was called Explorer 1. Then the United States started several missions to the moon and other planets in 1950 and the 1960’s. It had 8,000 employees and an annual budget of $100 million. Nasa rapidly grew. They...

This is because sunlight is reflected by the planet's water. * Asia Continent is covered 30% of the total earth land area, but represent 60% of the world's population. * The world's deadliest recorded earthquake occurred in 1557 in central China, more than 830,000 people were killed. * The Persian Gulf is the warmest sea. In the summer its temperature reaches 35.6 degrees centigrade. * Sunlight can penetrate clean ocean water to a depth of 240 feet. * Louisiana loses about 30 square miles (78 square kilometers) of land each year to coastal erosion, hurricanes, other natural and human causes and a thing called subsidence, which means sinking. * Only 3% water of the earth is fresh, rest 97% salted. Of that 3%, over 2% is frozen in ice sheets and glaciers. Means less than 1% fresh water is found in lakes, rivers and underground. * The total surface area of the Earth is 197 million square miles. * The word "Arctic" comes from the ancient Greek Arktikos, or "country of the great bear." Though the Greeks had no knowledge of the polar bear, they named the region after the constellation Ursus Major, the Great Bear, found in the Northern Sky. * A huge underground river runs underneath the Nile, with six times more water than the river above. * About 540 volcanoes on land are known.
