During many months these children under the command of Ender fought and won every battle. When Ender woke up one day he was told that the last game, which will be centered on the buggers home planet is ready to go. When he got there, many people were at his room where he commanded everybody. The odds like in his last game at Battle School were totally unfair, but like in Battle School, Ender used the all attack at once in a bullet shaped form. He then deployed the Dr. Device on the bugger's home planet, which caused a chain reaction which destroyed the planet and all the bugger ships around the planet.
The technological and economic benefits that the space program has given or will give are a good factor. The history behind the space program is the biggest factor because of all the recognition and appraise it has received. Money is a big factor when it comes to the space station.

To do so, the congress passed the National Defense Education Act, which heavily funded children who were seeking a higher education. However, Soviet Union kept launching successful space missions such as the Sputnik 2 mission and the launchings of the first man in space. The United States tried to out-do Soviet Union’s space missions by landing the very first man on the moon.
The Soviet Union dominated much of the early aspects of the space race. However, the United Stated used a methodical building approach that was achieved due to the earlier stages of the space race, Project Gemini and Mercury achievements, and the manned mission to the moon. The Space Race was a milestone in human history, its beginning will always be remembered as a race between two battling super powers of the time. Astronaut Neil Armstrong fulfilled as dream as old as humanity as he took the first human steps onto a planetary body, “That's one small step for man. One giant leap for mankind."

As like in Fahrenheit 451 the house symbolizes that technology will take over our lives and will make humans very dependent on it. In the second expedition, not knowing that the Martians were not immune to chicken pox the explores accidently bring the disease and kill all the Martians.
Having the Right Stuff: A Definition In Tom Wolfe’s The Right Stuff the author opens his novel by beginning with test pilots performing their day-to-day dangerous job. The over all point that he makes in the first chapter is exactly how deadly the job really is. He makes this point by dramatically describing to the readers death after death of various pilots, detailing their specific accidents. Using the point of view of what the wives went through made his point even that more emotional. Wolfe than continues his story by describing the dangerous job of being an astronaut in the early stages of the space race.
