Introduction The Mercury-Redstone 3 Freedom 7 was the very first American flight with a human on board. MR-3 had four main objectives while in space. One was to get humans use to a complete space flight experience including the lift-off, powered flight, weightless flight, re-entry, and landing phases. The second objective was to evaluate man's ability to perform as a functional unit during flight. The third thing that MR-3 wanted to achieve was to study man's physiological reactions during space flight.

Apollo 17 was the eleventh and final mission of the United States' Apollo program, the sixth mission to land humans on the Moon. Launched at 12:33 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) on December 7, 1972, with a three-member crew consisting of Commander Eugene Cernan, Command Module Pilot Ronald Evans, and Lunar Module Pilot Harrison Schmitt, Apollo 17 remains the most recent manned Moon landing and the most recent crewed flight beyond low Earth orbit. After Apollo 17, extra Apollo spacecraft were used in the Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz Test Project programs. Apollo 17 was the sixth Apollo lunar landing, the first night launch of a U.S. human spaceflight and the final crewed launch of a Saturn V rocket. It was a "J-type mission", missions including three-day lunar surface stays, extended scientific capability, and the third Lunar Roving Vehicle.
He got into the field because he had technical assignments with space station operations. But he officially decided to become an astronaut when he was a pilot in the U.S Air Force. In the Air Force he flew 144 missions in the Vietnam War. The first mission
Although these ambitious plans failed, the United States joined the Soviets in space eventually on the 31st of January 1958. In few years, both countries sent 4 satellites to the orbit- Sputnik I-IV and Explorer
Magellan | Mission start: May 04, 1989Mission End: October 12,1994 | Venus | Made first global map of the surface of Venus. (1 point) | 6. You discover from your research that only one of the missions listed above returned samples to Earth. Which mission brought samples back to Earth? (2 points) Mars.
NASA has sent many space craft to the moon. Apollo 13 really breaks the mold when several technical difficulties occur, during the flight that causes the three brave pilots to capture the true meaning of being a pilot.Apollo 13 was launched from Cape Kennedy, Florida, by a giant Saturn V launch vehicle and only minutes later was inserted into orbit around Earth. About 2 1/2 hours after launch, the still-attached S IVB third stage was reignited to provide the final boost toward the Moon. The transposition maneuver was carried out efficiently, and soon Apollo 13 was coasting toward the Moon on a path so accurate that the first planned course adjustment was canceled. Later in the mission, the craft underwent a hybrid transfer maneuver to facilitate landing in the
He built his own telescopes and was the first to use to view the heavens in 1610. After doing so, he made many discoveries. He saw that Jupiter has moon orbiting around it, like the Earth. He made the discoveries of the four moons on January 7, 1610 and they are now called the Galilean moons. These are the largest of Jupiters moons.
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."
According to MOP two of the first four people sent will be doctors. The astronauts will undergo 8 years of training for the mission. The time it will take for them to get to mars is roughly seven months, so the traveling time is far less than the training program. Living on Mars is comparable to living in a desert form of Antarctica. The people on Mars can expect to see a desert environment.
