Fortunately, the Columbia Accident Investigation Board concluded in its report that American space exploration must continue. They knew how America had benefitted from the space program and how it would continue to benefit. Today, I’m going to try to show you some ways that the space program has benefitted not only individual people, but America as a whole, and maybe you’ll decide that it is time to help promote this amazing program. You may not realize this, but technologies invented by NASA, may have saved the life of someone you loved, and someday, new technologies may save your life. Take for example, a technology called Impedance Cardiography.
Historical Landmarks – The 1969 Moon Landings The 1969 Moon Landings introduce controversial debate as to whether their significance adopted a landmark status. The culmination of expenditure, years of research and vast planning led to the successful mission in sending man to the moon in July 1969. The Moon Landings were a product of the notorious Cold War due to the commencement of the Space Race between the Soviet Union and America which was initiated with the Soviet launch of Sputnik in 1957 as well as Yuri Gagarin being the first man in space in 1961. The American space race success The leap for Aldrin and Armstrong into the eyes of the media and the public’s attention began with the estimated 600 million watching the Moon Landings live worldwide. The Moon Landings introduce landmark controversy through political, social, environmental, scientific and exploration factors.
A Court of Inquiry was held and the accident investigation was given to the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough. By using debris recovered from the Elba crash and using a known good airframe to do pressurized hull testing in a water tank, the causes of these accidents were traced to structural failure around the square windows and ADF antenna mounts due to metal fatigue. The Comet fleet was grounded while the lessons learned from these crashes were implemented into the next generation of Comets. Unfortunately for de Havilland, Boeing had taken the findings from the investigation and applied them to jet aircraft still on the drawing board. These improvements in metallurgy and design aided Boeing in dominating the world market in producing commercial jet aircraft that were larger and had longer ranges than the Comet.
But, many top managers do perform effectively (Bateman & Snell, 2009). They not only institute a plan to follow to obtain organizational goals but they show you how to get there by hands on experience, innovative, and by progressiveness. In the 1990’s Boeing Company’s C-17 Globemaster program would have been cancelled if it were not saved by an innovative culture headed by program manager David Bowman (Boeing's Innovative Approach to Leadership, 2010). Boeing found, through the use of positional leadership and abandoning the command-and-control style of management worked better. By engaging the innovative ideas and collaboration of workforce directly and not through middle manangement, Boeing was able to save the program from the brink of cancellation.

These Space Hazards serve as a threat to the solar system and to life as we know it. Thus, it is important to learn about these potential space hazards, what they are, what they can do, and how to prevent them from causing damage. Near Earth Objects, or NEOs, are perhaps the most relevant and dangerous hazard to Earth from
Once the danger of this sunk in, project horizon was disbanded America then turned its attention to the development of the Apollo Space Program and its first launch, Apollo 1. Can someone please read Apollo 1: The Tragedy (Discuss)- Was this preventable?
Interplanetary Exploration It is no doubt that it benefits mankind to explore the universe. The possibility of one day discovering that we are not alone would be the most important discovery in Earth’s history. We have ventured to the end of the conceivable universe with our incredibly powerful telescopes, and sent unmanned probes to explore unreachable celestial and planetary bodies. With unmanned spaceflight making huge progress, human spaceflight is falling behind, but with the cooperation of both humans and robotics, we could accomplish so much more. In July of 2011, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration bid farewell to manned spaceflight as the Space Shuttle Atlantis landed back on earth.

During the field trip, which was held February 26, 2018, I have made a lot of realizations. Oasis in Space, which was the first activity, revealed to me the fact that there are other planets with water that could possibly be a home for organisms. Next, the scavenger event at the Thronateeska revealed to me all the eras of life and how organisms lived long before humans. If they could live that long without humans and not disrupt the environment, we should try to comprehend from the past how do deal with pollution. During the documentary called “Plastic Paradise”, I gaped at the amount of plastic that is still on the Earth from the 1980s.
