Introduction (128) In the history of human development, human will always explore mysterious zone and investigate unknown phenomenon in their life. That is why human start to explore and discover the celestial objects in space. Due to the “Space Race” in the Cold War in the twentieth-century, the competition between USA and USSR have greatly facilitated space discoveries and achievements. However, lots of challenges of living in space have been discovered in the journey. Nowadays, as there are a demand of exploring new planet due to deterioration of earth niche. The use of science and technology have become a important mission now for scientist to solve basic necessities for living in space. Including eating, toileting , exercising , entertainment, bathing , clothing , sickness , sleeping and cleaning challenges. FOOD To earn a living , food is an essential element to the astronaut.However, there are some challenges of It is suggested to take bath or shower daily in order to maintain good skin hygiene and prevent skin diseases. However, as there are limited water supply, weightless environmental effects and waste management problems, bathing in space is not a easy job for astronauts. In order to provide regular bathing in space, many solution have be discovered by modern science and technologies. Firstly, water recycling system and the use of non-water-rinsed soap and shampoo will maintain a stable water supply by conserving waste and reducing consumption while bathing. Secondly, fixed utensils and pressurized tools will ensure that the water for bathing can be consumed in weightless environment, where floating of tools and unstable water column will be avoided. Finally, water recycling system in the spacecraft conserve water waste while atmosphere provide a medium for waste disposal.. Vaporization and recycling will ensure the liquid waste to be properly managed while bathing in
Waste management is an especially challenging issue of today’s society especially considering the heavy metals and biomedical waste produced within the profession (Muhameddagic, Muhamedagic and Masic, 2009). Dental practices also create large quantities of waste cotton, latex, plastic, glass as well as various other materials which all have the potential to be contaminated with body fluids (Sudhakar & Chandrashekar,
“Space, the final frontier….” These are the words that stirred the imaginations of millions of men, women and children with the debut of “Star Trek” in 1966. The show has arguably one of the most loyal followings of any production, and has inspired scores of people to consider the stars and wonder if we as a people will ever travel outside of our own solar system. The idea of space travel and exploration was not new when “Star Trek” hit the airwaves though. The United States was at odds with the Soviet Union, and both powers were locked in a battle that would come to be known as “The Space Race” during the height of the cold war. It was in 1961 that President John Kennedy made his famous appeal to the American people, challenging us as a nation to put a man on the moon before the decade was out. On July 20, 1969, that challenge was achieved when the astronauts of Apollo 11 made the first manned landing on the moon, and returned safely to earth. This, the highest achievement in the United States space program, will turn 45 years old this year. After 45 years, and a technological explosion over the past 25 years, the greatest achievement in the space program has been a manned lunar landing. Countless billions of American tax payer dollars have been spent on the space program over the decades, and there have been no achievements to match that of the moon landings. Though the budget for NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) is but a tiny fraction of the entire annual budget for the country, many of those billions that are allotted in the NASA budget for space exploration would better serve the country if they were re-directed to other areas. De-funding the space exploration portion of the NASA programs could create a “...
As a country we need to start investing more money and research into space technology. Programs currently exist for this effort, but the potential for research and progress is limited by a lack of funding; compared to other government funded programs, aerospace funding is pitiful. Continued research in space technology is a necessary step in our growth and development not just as a country but also as entire human race. If we are to achieve this goal, it is necessary to increase funding for space research and technology and consider the possibility of colonizing outer space. If we limit our existence to the planet Earth, and continue to drain the resources on this planet, we will destroy the only home we have.
Since mankind’s beginning, it has always felt the need to explore beyond farther than it has already explored; whether it be the crossing of the Atlantic to the New World or the exploration of the land acquired through the Louisiana Purchase, humans have always felt the need to explore and study what they do not know (SV;SV). But now that the world has been nearly scraped dry of new places to explore, where does mankind turn? Of course, the answer is space, the vast and great unknown. One of the largest contributors to the human exploration of space is none other than those of the United States of America who have taken on large goals with the risk of lives for the sake of knowledge while always trying to improve in order to reach farther from our home planet. Over the years since its beginning, the American space program has executed many major successful projects that were lead mainly by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, in which America completed without the assistance of other countries.
Colonizing Mars, it seems like a distant achievement. Some say impossible, some say it will happen soon. Since Elon Musk has entered this field of exploration colonization of Mars has seemed even more plausible. Still, problems have surfaced to make this much more difficult than it has to be. This makes some believe this to be impossible or unlikely for the time. Despite what side you are on we can both agree that we want to advance in space exploration.
The moon landing is one of America's greatest accomplishments, not only showing that we were capable of doing something so great but also bringing America together as a whole making everyone feel united and patriotic, if you try to tell anyone who witnessed the moon when it was broadcast in July of 1969 that it was a hoax, they will be quick to correct you and then they might tell you about how they saw it with their own eyes a man walking on the moon, but with the advancements in our scientific knowledge we have more proof than ever that the moon landing was a hoax.
When considering this topic, one might ask themselves why explore space? We explore space to compare other planets with the earth and to study the sun, to explore the universe while finding if intelligent life exists, for satellites to improve communications, weather forecasting, navigation, resource monitoring, and “to create a focal point for a new intellectual renaissance” (Ruzic).
“I think both the space shuttle program and the International Space Station program have not really lived up to their expectations.” These words by Buzz Aldrin are in my opinion why we should never give up on what we are trying to achieve. That is because once you put your mind on achieving one goal, you must achieve it and make this goal exceed you expectations. What is a space shuttle? The Space Shuttle is a reusable launch and reentry American spacecraft operated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for orbital human spaceflight missions. It is a part of the Space Transportation System (STS) and is one of the most talked about aircrafts. What do we use the space shuttle for? Well, the shuttle, a manned, multipurpose,
Space is unimaginably vast, and the problems keeping humans from mastering the exploration of and colonization of space is equally daunting. Impressive advances have been made within the past century, and dedicated efforts to make equally impressive strides in the next hundred years are in place. Space research will not yield resutls overnight, but the information obtained along the way will have a positive impact throughout the scientific community and the world's population in turn. With a goal of extraplanetary habitation, humans can prepare protective measures for neutralizing danger and managing resources underwater, in space, and on land, domestic and alien. The scientific and cultural unity required to reach this goal has the potential to propel mankind as a species and farther through the stars than ever imagined.
Scuba diving is a sport that has been done for centuries. Scuba stands for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus, in which people dive underwater with a cylinder of gas to breathe with the assistance of masks, fins, a breathing regulator, a buoyancy device, and gauges to explore the underwater environment. In the early nineteenth century new improvements were invented to help divers stay submerged underwater longer and have a smoother dive. But there is still doubt whether it is still safe to scuba dive or not because of the dangers that come with diving. And there are some areas of the world in which divers should be aware of. Even though improvements in technology made scuba diving safer by allowing humans to stay submerged longer periods of time, scuba diving should not be done, especially in particular regions of the world. A majority of dangers that come with scuba diving are caused by extreme water pressures.
Space exploration can lead to the possibility to find useful resources throughout the galaxy for human gain. Many severe problems on earth could be solved through space exploration such as world hunger, overpopulation, and dwindling fuel sources. Things such as fuel could be harvested from planets for power generation and propulsion technology, and land to cultivate for growing food, as well as land for building living areas for the growing population. These potential resources...
Space has always been a pivotal and utmost important subject for many years. In the past, scientists have made monumental advances in this field such as sending people into orbit and landing a man on the moon. Of course, this has only barely been explored and we still have a lot more to see of the ever-vast outer space. One of the most significant topics of all of science has only been touched and there’s still more to come.
Water is the most utilized substance. There is not one person, or industry that could survive without water. Water provides in more ways than just quenching thirst. This is why the most critical issues today, revolve around water loss. It may come as a surprise, but according to Patricia Lefevere, only one percent of the water on earth is useful to humans. The other 99 percent is not accessible or fresh (Lefevere). However, the problem is not as terrible as it seems. According to The Economist the main problems are; how much water is too much, and the way the water is used (Sin aqua non; Water). Water is a valuable resource; without knowing how much fresh water can be taken from sources without them being depleted causes an uncertainty to
As Space Exploration advanced so did the diversity of those who entered into it. Only a mere two years after the first man entered into space the first women did, Valentina Tereshkova. After her experience in space, many more women made their mark through the Space program. Each of these talented women strived for excellence in the field of Space Exploration and has provided great role models for people throughout the world. They have made an impact not only in equality among all genders but also in the knowledge we know today about space. These women, all diverse, shared one thing in common, the title of Astronaut.
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).
