Even though many people of the world may think it is a splendid idea to put time and money into building a space station on the moon or mars, it is not the brightest idea. It is not such a magnificent idea to put time and money into building a space station on the moon or mars because not many people fly to space, the space station could mess up, and asteroids could damage the space station. First and foremost, time and money put into building a space station on the moon or mars is not a superior idea because not very many people fly to space. Very few people have the money to get up and take a trip to space because they have nothing significant to be doing. The only people who visit space is the astronomers. How many people of the world…
I am an outcast in the flawed society I live in and try to improve it everyday. The space station is filled with jubilant citizens that feel minimal negative thoughts throughout the course of a day. It’s like their all being forced to be happy and cannot express any other emotion. Spreading pessimistic thoughts and feelings throughout the stations is the key to balancing the emotions of all citizens. In the station, I punched my joyful little sister in the face, and now am worried about how my…
Ever since 624 B.C., humans have always dreamed of space and all of its wonders. Thales was a Greek philosopher that theorized that the Earth was just disk floating in a dark ocean. Today humans are calling this dark ocean the universe. Ever since this discovery there are now astronomers, astrophysicist, and astronauts working towards mankind’s greatest achievement: The International Space Station (ISS). IT began as just an idea in the Industrial Revolution later being grown to a huge project.…
The Space Station Investigation Have you ever looked up into the sky and wondered what’s beyond earth. Well don’t because with so many problems there are many consequences to investigating in our space program. If we went into space it would cost a lot of money. It would cost a lot of money where we would end up going bankrupt and wiping mankind of the face of the Earth. People are homeless and starving trying to provide for their self and their family and they can’t even do that…
Donovan and Powell are on space station 5. They have to train QT-1 to manage the space station. Cutie, another robot has is different because it's the first robot with curiosity to his own existence. Cutie continues to ask Powell about his existence and won't believe what Powell says. Powell gives up and tells him that he's the only robot to question its existence. He described earth and the solar system to cutie after he asked which dots of life do u come from. They couldn't convince him so the…
private companies could build and international colony up there within the next decade. Two of the main issues concerning space travel is the cost of sending food and the physical and mental condition of the astronauts. If scientists predict that we will have colonies on the moon and Mars they need to figure out a feasible way to feed the astronauts. Good morning/afternoon/evening, my name is Claudia Van Dyke and I represent the Blacksburg FFA Chapter. There have been several astronauts who…
training. It was not Mr. Sagan’s description of our little planet which ignited my interest in space and space travel. Rather, the insistence of those close to me that the feat of witnessing the Pale Blue dot was impossible for me. Yet here I floated, on what many call the greatest coordination of countries effort, knowledge and resources, and what others deem a waste of federal tax money; the International Space Station. Now that I was safely aboard, I had to take a moment to be thankful no…
when executing long distant space travel in the near future, but first, we need to understand how plants grow in such extreme environments. Plant growth in space has been a very stimulating debate for many scientists for generations. Plants have the ability to develop morphological, anatomical, physiological and biochemical alterations in order to adapt to factors such as light intensity. Salvia officinalis can accurately regulate its metabolism toward solar radiation conditions and it can adapt…
Chemistry is in everyday life, including space travel. One might ask what is involved with space travel? A lot of times fuel for the rockets come to mind, but there is also the making of the rocket itself and how they breathe all the way up into space. A method they use for breathing in space is electrolysis. Other factors are the diet, the removal of waste, and the impact of space. In spacecraft fuel the two main categories are liquid and solid rockets, which have different combinations and…
A Haunting in the Empty Corridor Long, long in the future, on the International Space Station there lived an astronomical physicist named Astatine. Her days consisted of calculations, food, and zero gravity. One day as she was observing the stars, she saw one moving rapidly towards her. She roughly calculated its speed at ten times the speed of light. “What could it be?” she thought. At its distance and speed, it would reach the ISS in about ten minutes. She hit the giant red button next…
