My Timeline focuses on inventions spanning from 1900 to 1910, this decade saw a lot of new concepts that no one ever touched before. It also covers everyday things we use, such as the thumbtack or windshield wipers, and even things we take for granted such as the electric washing machine. We have definitely come a long way since 1910, it was over 100 years ago. Things have changed dramatically since then, we’ve landed on the moon, we have iPhones, and the internet is everywhere. But some things…
This is my report.The Hubble Telescope does not travel to stars, planets or galaxies. It takes pictures of them as it whirls around Earth at about 27 000 kilometers per hour. But there were five missions that went to the Hubble Space Craft. All of the missions were servicing missions where they upgraded the Hubble space craft so that it would operate for a longer time because it was making so many interesting discoveries.The Hubble Space Telescope is unmanned. A unmanned spacecraft is when no…
A unmanned spacecraft launched in 1997 called Cassini arrived at Saturn in 2004. After, its last flyby of one of Saturn's moons on April 21st Cassini, was prepared for what mission planners called mission planners are called its "Grand Finale." On April 22, 2017, a final flyby of Cassini was sent through the gap between Saturn and the inner ring. The spacecraft came within the cloud on jupiter and 200 miles of the most visible edge of its ring. As it has never been done before mission managers…
What if we found out that Mars was habitable and we wanted to go and live on Mars? Just being in space is dangerous. All these movies about space is actually giving us a warning about what could happen. The Apollo Movies are actual events that happened in astronautics in the early age of space flight and that was just going to the moon. Here are some reasons on why we shouldn't be going to Mars. First of all, going to Mars would cost millions. No, billions, about 6 billion or more. The…
What is a Camaro? That is the question automotive reporters asked Chevrolet in 1966 when they introduced a new automobile model to their line of cars. In this paper I will be discussing the design of the Chevrolet Camaro starting with the origin of the car. Introduced in 1966 as a 1967 model year car, the Camaro has been in production for over fifty years with exception of an eight year gap from 2002 to 2010. This means the Camaro has been made for longer than most other domestic car models for…
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 ISS is not just a space station but the future for humanity: earth is being depleted of its resources and mankind is going to need to move to another planet. That is where the ISS comes and solves the problem astronauts and cosmonauts are in the ISS…
officinalis on board the International Space Station would not inhibit the growth of the plant in any way. In fact, studies have shown that the only differences that are present in plants, due to microgravity on the ISS, would be the direction in which the roots and stems grow since there is no gravity…
Dorothy Johnson Vaughan was born september 20,1910 in her hometown Kansas City, Missouri. She was hired by NACA which later became (NASA) December of 1943. Dorothy made important contributions to the early years of the U.S. space program and was the first African American manager at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. As a group of African American female mathematicians who were considered “human computers” performing complex computations and getting data for aerospace engineers.…
It was the year 2025. All rocket engines still relied on the same traditional rocket engines for launch; the same technology as the 1960s. A new way to propel rockets was needed to make rockets efficient and affordable. The traditional engines could not carry huge payloads and used a lot of fuel, affecting the environment. All the space tourism companies had to sell tickets for $100,000 or more due to the rising costs of fuel, so only the wealthiest could afford going on a space vacation. One…
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 Coronal Mass Ejections shot towards Earth during launch. We were aware of the plasma sometimes shot towards Earth containing energetic particles which can be up to 10…
