This applies to Neil Armstrong’s life because he was naturally interested in aviation. He was awarded with a pilot license at the age of sixteen. Value was important to Armstrong, because aviation was not something he was forced to do or just a hobby, it was something he was naturally talented in. This was worth a lot, so he decided to pursue a degree in Aeronautical Engineering from Purdue University. Failure was no option in Armstrong’s life although he got turned down several times, he never gave up, he knew that this was what he wanted.
“How good you are in the beginning does not measure how great you can become.” There really is an enormous amount of truth behind this statement. Once starting my classes, I realized that I could be great. Not only be great but also reach my goal. This lecture gave me a lot of hope and faith that I too can be exactly what I dream of. Captain Mark Kelly too was just an average student that worked hard towards his dream to be the first man on Mars.
He spoke with passion but stated his ideas simply, allowing him to appear very bright but still appealing to the average American. Kennedy was also seen as compassionate when he created the Peace Corps to provide aid to needy countries by enabling Americans to volunteer to help the countries in need. He set high goals for America, believing that they would put a man on the moon by the end of the 1960s as well as advance in other areas such as the fight against poverty and prejudice, and the fight for world peace. Kennedy was also the youngest elected president which helped many Americans identify with him after generations of old men running the government. Although he smoked cigars, he never smoked in public to avoid setting a bad example for children which helped win him more admiration.
This may not seem important now, but at the time both countries were conducting top-secret nuclear research and while they did not want to publicly reveal their progress, they did want to project the message to the world that—whatever progress they had made—it was better and farther along than the progress of their enemies. NASA’s space program became the United State’s poster-child of our technological achievement and, as such, it also became a tool of international intimidation and of national defense. When the Challenger Space Shuttle exploded over Cape Canaveral in 1986, it was like a giant sign flashing overhead that the US was not as capable and powerful as previous thought. President Ronald Reagan acted quickly in speaking to the country about the tragedy, but his aim was not simply to reassure the public that everything was okay. In his Challenger speech, President Reagan persuaded the American public to continue to support the space program through his appeal to traditional American values of exploration and discovery, national pride, and national unity.
Lutz shows us how Jesse Moore goes on to explain the improvement of the NASA shuttle program and read to us a very well thought out and organized answer, but upon closer examination, Moore may not even have a clue of what he was talking about. In Moore’s answer he uses impressing and overwhelming words to trick the listeners to believe he is educated on his topic, when in reality he could’ve been just be as clueless as everyone else was. Last but not least when a speaker wants to make the “ordinary sound extraordinary,” inflated language is just the key to use. Although not always harmful, Lutz conveys the “doublespeak of inflated language can have serious consequences” by showing us in military doublespeak, the “Caribbean Peace Keeping Forces” were “predawning vertical insertion” by no more than invading Grenada and using inflated language to give an “air of importance” and complexness to things that would not otherwise be important or as complicated. Manipulated conversations, and a misunderstanding are both received as doublespeak, doublespeak is commonly used and most of the time not generally caught right away.
This makes the reader see Yvette Yergon Optimistic and see his side of space travel and how it possible to travel to space faster and more often. He then sheds light on why he wrote this piece “after visiting an exhibition presented by an international group called Kolmbus-21” he says that they were “a group of influential thinkers” they saw the potential of further space travel this convinces the reader that there are all sorts of possibility’s out there in space all the resources out there waiting to be collected this enhances the audiences thoughts on how to retrieve resources for our “beautiful blue planet” this makes the reader joyful since our planet is running out of resources. Yvette Yergon then goes on about the resources how if the government in “interested in spending money” “there must be more
In the old days (the early 1900’s) the word “nuclear” made people think of war. Back than people were very worried about nuclear bombs and the great damage that could become of them. Now a days people are much less worried about “nuclear” weapons and are more concerned about nuclear energy because they feel that nuclear energy could help things such as global warming. Sense the early 1900’s there have been many different theories blogged about by scientists that show that the idea could be a substitute for our current energy source. Even though many people believe that history sometimes repeats itself we as a whole go along doing the same things that we did before thinking that there could be different results, but sense we all know that every energy source out today has its setbacks and positive results: scientists have created and somehow stabilized the much needed power sources of nuclear energy.

From boyhood, Himmler was always pushed by his father that wanted him to be the perfect German. Like a V-1 rocket, “powered by a duct motor with a pulsating flow of fuel,” Himmler is powered by his father to be flawless even though everyone is imperfect (235). It is the universal truth that no human is perfect, but the Germans considered themselves the Aryan race, which was supposed to be superior than any race alive. Himmler’s father rejected the idea that Himmler is not perfect, especially physically with “his body still retains the mark of that illness” (243). Humans are not the only imperfect things in the world, but even technology can have flaws.
Most of these situations could depend on his or other lives. The thing that makes this quality shine is that the decisions that he makes he does not second them and is not the slightest bit hesitative of his answer. This kind of confidence in quick thinking makes him a successful person in life. In race 50 Jason and the Bug where racing agonised Xavier in the International Race School. Jason is a quick tinker because when they had a spectacular crash when someone hit their tail fin Jason had to think up an idea.
