2. The space shuttle seems to be to dangerous, too fragile, and too expensive. 3. NASA has shutdown the space program. 4.
Since space is a vacuum, these flames would not last as nearly as long as they would in real life and dissipate much more rapidly due to the oxygen being quickly sucked out of that specific area. In addition, the woman being sucked out into space and being unable to scream is accur ate due to there being no matter for the sound to travel from.
This incident occurred well above the range of shoulder-fired missiles. And it would probably be easier to sneak a bomb onto Air Force One than to get one onto the shuttle. TIME.com: So is reentry the Achilles heel of the shuttle program? JK: No, the Achilles heel has always been liftoff, and the dangers posed by massive fuel load involved. Reentry has, of course, always been a difficult part of the space program.
In the Star Wars series, there is a lot of space battles. If the space battles were realistic, you wouldn't hear anything at all. The reason is because space is a vacuum and sound requires matter to propagate. In space you would be able to hear everything inside your cockpit but everything outside you wouldn't hear a thing, it will be only silence. Because it is a fictional movie, sound is in there for attract the audience.
They have to use a sort of toaster oven though, they can't use a microwave on the shuttle. I think by the end of their trip the food gets pretty boring! What happens if the astronauts lose one of their tools? Astronauts try not to lose anything, including tools, because they float off into orbit. Later you might be going along in orbit and that tool could smash into the shuttle!
Because the airlines couldn’t fly they required no fuel and the oil industry had drilled, purified and refined fuel they could not sell. Countless millions were unable to fly back from holidays, business trips etc. many African countries that normally export products to the UK, France and Spain had no means of
Commentary on Robert Hayden’s Astronaut: In Astronauts Robert Hayden explores the philosophical issues raised by moon exploration. Despite the proudly isolated and bravely independent title ‘Astronauts’ the first five lines of the poem actually reveal the lack of identity and personality of the astronauts, as they are ‘faceless in [their] visors,’ an idea accentuated in lines three to five where their ‘mirrormasks/ [reflect] the general glare and / shadow of moonscape.’ The alliteration here emphasises the absence of any defining features on the moon which echoes the absence of specific details about the men. This absence of personality and identity seems initially to be broken at the end of the first stanza when the poet uses colloquial terms to reflect the astronauts’ excitement as they exclaim ‘wow’ and ‘oh boy,’ and Hayden carries this tone over into the beginning of the next stanza where the word ‘exulting’ suggests their elation. However, the fact that Hayden employs a third person stance throughout the poem effectively distances us from the astronauts preventing us from sharing their emotion. This sense of distance is abruptly re-emphasised for the reader in stanza two by the parentheses which seem to include a direct address from the poet or persona to the reader reminding us of the training that the astronauts have undergone encouraging them to ‘be wary of emotion and philosophy’.
Scientist haven’t been able to get many samples of stars as touching them results in an unsatisfactory burning sensation, followed by death. As all the gas is compressed, stars spend millions of years producing vast amounts of heat and light until their untimely deaths, although they aren’t exactly untimely, you can judge how long a star will live based on size and the colour which gives away how powerful the nuclear reaction actually is. Their deaths come about when there isn’t enough gravity or one of the gases required runs out. Then a star has to start using helium for its fusion, this means that there is far more pressure and heat because it is less reactive than hydrogen. However if it doesn’t have enough gas to create helium fusion it creates a red dwarf/red giant.
A cup, can be related it to a size of an average cup. The Imperial system lacks to cover enough of range for many modern measurements. Many engineers and architects need to convert in order to calculate small measurements such as mass of blood cells, wavelength of light, etc. Research indicates that since 1991 NASA is required to use metric wherever achievable. In the past it has not been taken seriously enough, which cause a space probe to crash (Sept 1999) because of the
The asteroids had no faces like the other creatures, but were simply chunky pieces of rock that trailed around the planet sheepishly. These intergalactic happenings had no grace or definite beauty like everything else in this far above world; however, it still felt floaty and dreamy to just swirl around. My entire body felt free, airy, ethereal…. like I was seated on a perfectly fluffed cloud, unaware and unconcerned with all troubles of humans. Perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad to spend the rest of my life up in space….
