While it is true that Earth has benefitted from past space exploration, it remains very important for the leaders of America to weigh the pros and cons of further exploration. They must take into consideration today’s economy and the fact that many people are much more concerned about their jobs here on Earth, rather than worrying about exploring other planets. American exploration of Mars began in the late 1990s, and since that time, the United States has sent eight different vehicles to the Red Planet (Kluger 24). All of this exploration has been very expensive for the American taxpayers. Recently, the idea of privatizing the business of sending cargo and astronauts into low-earth orbit has become a reality.
In the late 1960’s the English reader saw America’s Launch as a threat to their hierarchy; so, the writer write his piece in a repetitive manner to imply to the viewer that the Launch was also dull, boring, and not a momentous accomplishment. The audience of the 21st century not only in England but the world assessment of Armstrong’s moon landing as an achievement for mankind. Not only does the Launch benefit America but all nations with an interest to organize a similar expedition or even if they do not have the resource America did to have the Launch they can use America’s as there source. One opinion universally shared in both generations is Neil Armstrong is a moon landing “god”, in the second article the reader can deduct from the reading the author was fairly fond of Mr. Armstrong. A person just newly aware of the Apollo 11 Launch, if informed with an unbiased view would also agree or share the same perspective as the original author that Armstrong is a man to looked upon as a national hero.
Hiren Patel 10/13/14 FYOS Review of “The Space Merchants” The Space Merchants was written in 1952 and it was well ahead of its time. You might expect this book, set in "the future", to be hopelessly trite and dated, but it holds up remarkably well. If anything, many of the issues in the book resonate more today than they may have when it was first published. I enjoyed this cynical and satirical science fiction novel. It's about Mitchell Courtenay, a high-ranking ad exec in a futuristic American society dominated by advertising.
In America incidents like these bring and unite people together to form patriotism from within: “We’ll continue our quest in space. There will be more shuttle flights and more shuttle crews and, yes, more volunteers, more civilians, more teachers in space. Nothing ends here; our hopes and our journeys continue” (Challenger Disaster Address 1986 n.p.). There was no giving up after this accident and it would be changed by what was learned. NASA has not stopped and there is no stopping for them.
John F. Kennedy states, “Well, space is there, and we're going to climb it, and the moon and the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there.” The deliberate use of “and” shows that when we get to space, the outcomes are limitless. Reaching space will open many new doors to new opportunities. It will have a ripple effect, one new discovery leading to another. The repetition of “and” develops a continual flow, seeming that the sentence and success and opportunities for the U.S.A. may go on for forever. In conclusion, anaphora, the use of metaphors, and asyndenton all aid in President John F. Kennedy's speech that the United of States should extend the space program.
Discovery of 51 Pegasi B In October 1995, a discovery was made by Michael Mayor and Didier Queloz that rocked the foundations of the professional planet seeking world. This discovery was that of a planet, 51 Pegasi B. My paper will focus on the path that two Geneva based astronomers took in discovering the existence of 51 Pegasi B. As the first men to find a planet that rotated so close to a star, they challenged the existing notions that planets could not exist in such close proximities to planets. Their discovery prompted astronomers around the world to look in places where planets were not found to exist and allowed us to further examine how a planet can exist at such extreme temperatures.
The second text that I chose is Fly Me to the Moon by TGP as it combines both music and lyrics to draw a view on an event. In this case the composer gives the audience her perspective on love in form a ‘euphoria’ or euphoric event. The song starts off with a faster than normal beat symbolising a heart racing then introducing a high frequency melody that is played repeatedly. This is done to give the song a fantasy feel, a dream

NASA technology also has been adapted for many non-aerospace uses by the private sector. NASA remains a leading force in scientific research and in stimulating public interest in aerospace exploration, as well as science and technology in general. Perhaps more importantly, our exploration of space has taught us to view Earth, ourselves, and the universe in a new way. Every aircraft utilizes technology pioneered by NASA. New industries have been built on space technology, including personal computers, advanced medical equipment, communications satellites, weather forecasting and natural resource mapping.
Playing at the Liverpool Empire in 1986, he spontaneously broke into a 15-minute medley of Beatles songs. "That wasn't very professional," he admitted, "but it sure was fun." Denver founded an environmental group, Windstar, and visited Russia and China to discuss the preservation of the planet. He loved space exploration and applied, unsuccessfully, to be an astronaut. He sang about the 1986 space shuttle disaster in "Flying For
