In fact, in 1942, shortly before coming in the West Indies, Christopher Colombus recorded in his ship’s log that he and his crew had observed that a large ball of fire had fallen to the sea and their compass behaved erratically. Also, in the United States of America, there is a place called the “Area 51”. The Area 51 is said to be the place where humans abduct aliens. Yes, you’ve heard it right, humans abduct aliens. Rumored to be hiding all alien-related information from the world, this Area 51 is hidden in Southern Nevada, United
Inside they find numerous stone cylinders, a large, monolithic statue of a humanoid head, and the decapitated corpse of a large alien, thought to be an Engineer; Shaw recovers its head. Other bodies are found, leading the crew to surmise that the species is extinct. Crew members Millburn and Fifield grow uncomfortable with the true nature of the mission and attempt to return to Prometheus, but are left stranded in the structure when they get lost. The expedition is cut short when a rapidly approaching storm forces the crew to return to the ship. David secretly takes a cylinder from the structure, while the remaining ones begin leaking a dark liquid.
Henri Oung Date due: April 28th, 2009 Knowledge and Conspiracy Theories Date submitted: April 28th, 2009 Term paper: Moon-landing Word count: 1110 We always strive to achieve something. That achievement might be a dream or something even bigger. One of the dreams that Americans have is to actually get off the planet earth and see the outer universe. But one of the first things they wanted to accomplish is to actually land on the moon. It was first succeeded by the soviets in 1966, but the Americans did try to land a few years before that, but failed.
The idea of a corpse laying on a street and thought to be acceptable for a city is spine-chilling. Dan Barry, portrays this daunting image in a reader’s head very well in the article “Hurricane Katrina: The Corpse on Union Street”. He goes into detail of how everything functioned in the aftermath of a city that was hit by a devastating hurricane. The city is haunted by the absence of its people and their once proudly “sweetly blown jazz”. People are murdered and their corpse lay there for days.

In this book the main characters and any other human are able to freely choose between two worlds. The Matrix also takes place in the future. The Matrix is a futuristic time when the world has become dark and gloomy from the result of machines that were built by humans taking over and controlling their creators. Already there are similarities between these two works. Slowly the humans destroy their own civilizations over time in one way or the other.
Although rocket pioneer R.H. Goddard and the Peenemunde rocket scientists used inertial sensors for navigation and control of missiles, a complete navigation system using inertial sensors did not emerge until the 1940s under Charles Stark Draper, considered to be “the father of inertial navigation.” C.S. Draper established the Instrumentation Laboratory at MIT as a major player in the early development of inertial navigation. In the 1960s, engineers at MIT designed the inertial navigation system (INS) for sensing and controlling rocket thrusting during trajectory changes of the Apollo spacecraft [12]. The dominant inertial sensor errors for the Moon missions were unpredictable shifts in output biases of the gyroscopes and accelerometers. These
