Annie Dillard’s, “Stunt Pilot,” is a compelling story of her personal adventure through the air with renowned stunt pilot, Dave Rahm.

First, Dillard recollects the moment she became entranced with David Rahm’s performance at the air show.
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.

Armstrong was provided with many opportunities that continued to shape not only his professional career but his personal life. He flew aircraft that included a multitude of makes and models of aircraft. He was provided the advantage of attending multiple colleges, which nonetheless encouraged him to continue to chase his dream”NASA- National Aeronautics and Space Administration.” In addition to his dreams of outer space exploration, Neil Armstrong was awarded the American Dream of a wife and family.

Lines are usually very long for high intensity rides, but the anticipation that is created waiting in lines are a thrill itself. As a rollercoaster lover, I like to visit Six Flags a lot. Going on old rides always bring back great memories with of my friends and family. It has changed by far from when they first came out. The evolution from wooden tracks to steel tracks have allowed for more flexibility in the air, as the wooden material restricted the coasters.

NASA has not stopped and there is no stopping for them.
