Get startedThere have been many successful space explorations, astronauts, and researchers for NASA. But, none so inspiring as the woman who holds the record for the most days in space. Peggy Whitson, with a recorded 665 days, places 8th in the world out of both men and women. She has also completed 2 six month tours […]
NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is the U.S. government sector which is responsible for leading the nation’s explorations of space. It commences during the Cold War, the era that was driven by ‘Space Race’ between the Soviet Union and the United States. Yuri Gagarin (Vostok 1), the first man to travel outer space […]
The debate which has been argued throughout the articles given have involved space exploration, human and robotic. The four authors discussed include, David Von Drehle who is an American history and politics journalism and is featured in The Washington Post, Marillyn Hewson who is chairman, president and chief executive of Lockheed Martin Corporation, Dr. Don […]
When the sun comes up everyday, it brings light to one side of the world while it brings darkness to the other side of the world. Darkness allows people to look at stars in the night sky and explore space with their own eyes. Space is a subject that raises more questions every time a […]

Private space companies have a very good effect on the space program. But not all the time it’s a good effect. Private space companies have been in the program for a long time but just recently people have made controversy over it. The main part of the controversy is if private companies are safe or […]
In the year 1608, Dutch lens maker Hans Lipperhay invented the world’s first telescope1 and a year later, Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei perfected the telescope and revolutionized the way we look at space. Galileo’s observations2 included the observations of the Moon, phases of Venus, moons around Jupiter, and sunspots. Apart from concluding that the Moon […]
Every kid has thought about being an astronaut, floating in space and playing around, but many people think that space exploration is something that we should not do, and point our money to something more useful such as poverty in the United States.

However; those individuals do not ponder on the fact that the behind the scenes components of NASA are […]
Surmounting the challenges of working in space has led to many technological and scientific advances that have provided benefits to society on Earth in areas including health, conveyance, public safety, consumer goods, energy and environment, information technology, and industrial productivity. Exploring space will also bring together the communities in hope to collaborate and achieve more […]
The pinnacle point of space exploration was the so-called space race from (1955-1972), between the United States and the Soviet Union. The U.S and the U.S.S.R were in competition to determine who will be the first man to land on the moon. The race required an immensely high budget for NASA, which created fast improvement […]
