would come to fruition. The Earth’s moon(Luna) has always been an ideal candidate for colonization, its proximity key for a first base for experimenting with for future space colonization. To fully establish a colony on Luna is an enormous assignment, so for the purposes of this report, we will emit the financial requirements of such a mission. We interpreted the question of establishing a lunar colony as establishing a permanent, sustainable settlement on the moon. Our solution also assumes…
helping our growth. America has given my generation(young teens)a lot, like for example, amazing technology to use for education, jobs, entertainment, and 40 to 50 years ago we used something like the first model computers to launch a rocket to the moon!

Newton’s work makes it possible for humanity to explore further and beyond their own world. Space exploration is made possible because of the work of Newton. Newton’s discovery of gravity and its laws and published work has enabled humanity to venture deeper into…
Humans have always looked at the heavens and wondered about the nature of the objects seen in the night sky. With the development of rockets and the advances in electronics and other technologies in the 20th century, it became possible to send machines and animals and then people above Earth’s atmosphere into outer space. Well before technology made these achievements possible, however, space exploration had already captured the minds of many people, not only aircraft pilots and scientists but…
that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth." He told America that if they were to reach the moon that they would have to work together. It was from that point on that the U.S. really started pulling forward in the Space Race. NASA realized that before they could send a man to the moon they would have to have a filler mission in which a group of three astronauts were sent into orbit in the…
