of outer space have always gained a profound attraction from mankind as it stirs our deepest instincts. When in 1957 the Soviet Union launched Sputnik I the world was introduced to the Space Age. Subsequently the world was thrown open to a vast range of space applications, ideas such as remote sensing, direct broadcasting, telecommunications and satellite navigation forever changed the way the world would live. The space era brought with it the excitement and challenges of space exploration and the
Space is always something that humans were curious about. Even in the past humans always looked at the sky in wonder. Over the years astronomy created a huge part of who we are. From constellation greeks created religion. Patterns seen by arabs allowed us to use the stars as a backup map when sailing the oceans. The differences in constellation over the years allowed humans to realize that they are not the center of the universe, and that there are even other planets. In today’s world we managed

The issue of allowing or funding space programs has been the subject of debate across many nations around the world. Governments of various nations in today’s economy have to deal with the issue of debt and budgeting and many of their space programs have had to face funding cuts in more ways than one. Many nations such as the United States and Russia have had their space programs from the start of

many unintended technological advances that have improved our quality of life, and hence mankind should invest in it. To meet the many goals of space exploration, government space agencies and the aerospace industry had to develop new technologies, which provided a technical basis for stimulating secondary applications. Each application is a by-product of space research, known as a spinoff, which is a secondary product or technology derived from technological development in an unrelated field (Dasch

In order to understand Apollo 13’s impact on the end of the space race, one must comprehend the events and factors of the Apollo 13 disaster that impacted President Nixon’s decisions on future missions, as well as America’s hardships that affected the flight. In the beginning Apollo 13’s flight was smooth but Mission

Topic: Should space be commercialized General Purpose: To persuade Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience to have a positive opinion about space commercialization. Thesis: The positive reasons for commercializing space are for research, commercial transport of crew, and commercialization of cargo transportation. Introduction I. Attention getting device: So I was online reading a news article off of The Guardian about the recent Antares rocket launch. On Tuesday October 28th the Antares rocket
beginning of the race Sputnik vs. Explorer. We all know the legendary words of “This is one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” (Neil Armstrong). The Space Race was a competition between the United States and the Soviet Union in space exploration, covering roughly the period of 1955-1972. It included efforts to explore outer space with artificial satellites,
political and social changes but also by technological and scientific innovation. So when the Soviets launched the first artificial satellite it meant a new frontier in a Cold War: space. Historians have argued whether the launch of the first satellite was a significant event in the course of the Cold War. Directly leading to the Space Race, the launch of Sputnik played an important role in the development of the conflict between two nuclear superpowers, but overall it did not really have a big effect on
