Name: Unmesha Kale
COMM 114 SECTION 749.
• General Purpose: My general purpose is to inform.
• Specific Purpose: My specific purpose is to inform my audience about India’s first Mars Orbiter.
• Introduction:
A. Attention Getter: A few days after the Indian Scientists sent the Indian Mars orbiter (MOM) called Mangalyaan, NASA launched its satellite Maven. Maven costs $671 million. The most surprising difference is that the budget of India’s entire Mars mission, by contrast, was just three-quarters of the $100 million that Hollywood spent on last year’s space-based hit, “Gravity.”
B. Credibility Statement: I was able to gain an insight about this particular news

All the factors mentioned like the low budget, talented software engineers, age of employees plays an important role in the mission.
• Transition: Now I would like to inform you how the countries achievement was anticipated everywhere and within the country as well.
C. Main Point 3: The country’s success has been applauded by everyone all around the world.
a) The Prime Minister of India congratulated the mission by saying "Today, all of India should celebrate our scientists. Schools, colleges should applaud this."
(i) This success of the scientists has been compared with that of Cricketers in India. Cricket is a famous game played in India. The country celebrates the wins of the Indian Cricket team very enthusiastically.
b) NASA congratulated the ISRO team.
(I) The agency tweeted “We congratulate @ISRO for its Mars arrival! @MarsOrbiter joins the missions studying the Red Planet,"[Source: BBC NEWS]
Conclusion: The Mangalyaan is a great step towards the advancement of Indian space exploration. This extremely cost and resource efficient mission has proved the efficiency of human
In the story, "The View of Me From Mars," Lee K. Abott writes a story about a father and son relationship. In this story the father realizes that he isn't perfect and tries to have his son cover up his own mistake. Lee K. Abott, though being subtle, makes it known, through the characters he uses, that a person can't believe everything he sees. The author successfully enlightens the reader with his use of point of view, characterization, and theme to make the reader feel sympathy and to give the story credibility.
“In a fraught fiscal climate, NASA should focus on what it does best and on what offers the best return on investment. Solar system exploration meets both criteria: the U.S. has long led the interplanetary charge, and the resulting scientific benefits have come at a relative bargain. This year NASA 's planetary science program cost about $1.5 billion -- less than what NASA spent designing a congressionally mandated rocket, the Space Launch System, which appears more likely to satisfy aerospace contractors than to aid the cause of space exploration. Such directives from lawmakers all too often land in NASA 's lap without the funds to carry them out (To The
Americans Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin were eventually the first men to walk on the moon on July 20, 1969. That would not have been possible, however, without years of trial and error and massive manpower and motivation that led up to their now famous Apollo 11 mission that put them on the moon.
October 4, 1957: The Russia launched Sputnik into space. Thus began the seemingly-eternal battle for control of space exploration. Who would get the first man into space; to the Moon, to Mars? Everything that could be done by either country was being done to give the edge. It soon became obvious to all that neither country was going to back down from the challenge. However, a lot has changed since 1957, governments have slumped, privatized exploration has taken charge. . . what happened? Where is space exploration going? Where is the human race, today?
Reveal Topic: The cost for exploring the space is high, but the benefits that we get is unmeasurable. Space exploration is an adventure or a journey for humankind, with the possibilities for discoveries that will get the people’s attention and will capture their imaginations and benefit our society in a good way. Emotion/ Audience Connection Main Points: Space exploration is helpful to humankind in every way we think is possible however, exploring
Everybody knows that soccer is the most played game in the world but very few people know that the second most played game after soccer is cricket. Cricket had it origin in 700 A.D. Baseball was derived from cricket. The word cricket came from French word ‘criquit’. Most of people who don’t know about cricket think cricket is very complicated game but it is not true. Cricket is a very simple game if one knows these simple rules.
Scientists have dreamt over the possibility that it may be possible to live on another planet. Some think that Mars has that potential to support life, if it's hidden resources are uncovered and exploited to their full potential. There is even evidence that it once contained enough water that it had been possible to hold life. Think about it, what if we could transform it into such a place, even if only our children's children get to see any result? The following will describe Mars, present evidence of ice and water, give possible ideas for the future exploration of Mars, and give reasons for why it is important.
It is within man’s blood and nature to explore, and space is our next New World. Man’s first achievement in space travel was the launch of the Sputnik on October 4, 1957. For the next decades, space travel was roaring like a rocket, fueled by man’s desire to explore, man’s desire for knowledge, and man’s desire to beat his enemies. However, these impulses have died out as the well of government funding has been diverted to wars and debts, and the interest of the American people has been diverted to wars and debts. Amidst all these issues it is debated as to whether or not space travel is worth the money and the attention of scientists, particularly since humanity faces so many issues on earth currently. However, because of the past inventions, current services, and future benefits, space travel is indeed worth the money and attention of governments and people. It is within our hands to control man’s advancement, and space travel is the next venue to do so.
Relating to the Audience: Of all the majors people are looking forward to in this classroom, there is not a single major that has not benefited from the space program. Thus it is important to analyze the most glaring threat this messiah of a program is facing.
On Tuesday, November 5, 2013 India has successfully sent a rocket from an island in the Bay of Bengal reaching for planet mars. The mission’s objective was to explore the surface structure, morphology and mineralogy. Also, they wanted to see if they can communicate & navigate in space to let the rocket be able to survive and orbit around the earth (Mars Orbiter Mission, n.d.). On the other hand, India had another goal for the mission, which was a race against the Chinese, in other words, a cold war. Furthermore, according to Pallava Bagla (2013) in the article about ISRO to launch India’s first spacecraft to Mars, he mentioned, “There is a lot of national pride involved in this” which shows that India is trying to tell the world that they are a strong and very developed country? In this essay I am going to discuss the reasons why I support India’s space mission.
"We often think of science as something inescapably linked to progress, and of progress as continually marching forward. We assume that there is something inevitable about the increase of knowledge and the benefits this knowledge brings" (Irvine & Russell). Provide humanity with wisdom and speculative enjoyment. This enjoyment of the public is through reading, learning and thinking. But scientists are met with the real research work.
Everything changed on August 7, 1996, when NASA and President Clinton told the world that a very primitive life form had been found in a meteorite, from 1984. President Clinton had this to say about the matter: “This is a product of years of exploration and months of intensive study by the world’s most distinguished scientists. Like all discoveries, this one will and should continue to be reviewed, examined and scrutinized.'; After Clinton said this it was almost as if a scientific boom had occurred. NASA research teams of scientists at Johnson Space Center began to look for life as well. NASA began to send robots and Satellites to Mars. Unfortunately, they found nothing or lost contact with the robots or Satellites in the process. During the year of 1999 NASA sent up two rockets toward Mars and both were failures. Due to the failures, time has been given for scientists to blueprint a credible and step-by-step search for life on the Red Planet. Without the pressure to return Martian samples to Earth any time soon, new schemes for automated, on-the-spot detection of past or present Mars life can be flown.
Michael Collins once proclaimed that, “It’s human nature to stretch, to go, to see, to understand. Exploration is not a choice really; it’s an imperative.” People have always been fascinated by space exploration and it was during the 1950’s that the “race to space” took off. Both Russia and the United States wanted to be the first to travel into space and the first ones to land on the moon. Today, nations are still active in space exploration. This includes NASA (the U.S.), the Russian Federal Space Agency, CNSA (China), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe), ISA (Italy), ROSA (Romania), and the Soviet Union. Now, some may argue that the United State’s space program has slowed down or even stopped having interest in space. However, there is a great deal of evidence that shows that NASA is still very much interested in space.
Overall, the Astronomy conversation was a success. Sharing of information led to new ideas and a great discussion on the future of space travel. All participants learned something new about the future of space travel. Last, it was obvious that regardless of age, education, or professional background, people are interested and excited about the future of space travel.
The modern day space environment is no longer a mystery to humans. Yuri Gagarin of Russia was the first person to experience space adventure in 1961. Since then, technological advances have enabled space exploration, with new discoveries being made from time to time. Scientists have significantly contributed to the development of space tourism. Noteworthy inventions by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have transformed human life through increasing accessibility to space. The agency has made it possible for astronauts to go to the moon and also to walk around planet Mars with robotic automobiles. The invention of the tri-axis control design has had a significant influence on modern space explorations, helping astronauts to effectively focus their satellites on the target. This has been important in increasing efficiency and precision in astronomical discoveries (Birchard, 2003).
