He would rush home to tell his wife about his findings. Jasmine believes his without a doubt. The couple was dumbfounded at how they were going to solve this problem. Michael and Jasmine would begin scouring the Internet to find out what would be the most effective way to get rid of the meteor. After hours of in depth research, they both would find that the best way to get rid of the meteor would be to blow it up. Now the couple would have to find a way to construct it. After all this they would find that a rocket would be the best way to destroy the meteor. They need to find an organization to help them construct the rocket. Luckily they found one called Space Protectors. This organization agreed to help the couple in order to save earth. …show more content…
Johnson still did not believe the meteor situation until one day, another astronomer went to Jacob about the meteor. Upon this, he could not ignore the situation no longer. Once the situation became a reality, then the both sides were joined together to help with the mission. With the united intelligence the situation became possible to avoid.
The rocket was coming along perfectly when the day came when Michael and others realized the meteor was coming closer and closer quickly. This caused the rocket assembly to be pushed to be done quicker. There was still some time needed in order for the rocket to be constructed. Michael was trying his best to stay calm seeing the meteor come close and closer to view. He was the leader of the combined group. This meant he had to talk to the American people about the whole situation.
The mass population freaked out upon the news of their planet and lives being in danger of being wiped out. Regardless Michael was a smart enough man to know how to keep the people calm. He has confidence that the problem would be resolved before they are put into danger. The whole planet was put on edge about the situation. Many people would go out publicly asking if the meteor would be destroyed. Also many people privately would ask if it would be done in time. The organization was confident that the rocket would be done in
The parents’ dilemma, the visuals of their anxiety and fears were captured very clearly in this clip. The stills of Michael connected to the breathing tubes, having his head prepped for surgery etc., visually evoked the magnitude of what the parents and the Michael had to go through. However, the recovery and progress was an awesome success story filled with all the elements of an inspirational narrative that not only inspired but educated as
Brian Doyle’s, “The Meteorites” was a short essay about a camp counselor and his unforgettable summer. Doyle uses very poignant arguments to explain his love for his campers. Each camper is introduced with a short synopsis, allowing the reader to get a feeling for what the children are like. The counselor was in charge of a flock of 5-6 year olds. The second paragraph introduces the main argument: how this summer camp made him love the boys as if they were his own. The paragraph goes continues the counselor is pulled aside by one of the shyest and quietest that was speaking up for the most outspoken of the group. He was asking for help because one David (outspoken on) had an accident in his pants and needed to be clean. This puzzled the
Michael changed drastically over the course of only a few weeks. He learned more about his friends, family, and himself than he ever wanted to know.
In the opening scene we get a sense of what Michael is like. He is driving a boat of a car across the barren desert, like he is scavenging for something. Strapped for money he stops at a somewhat abandoned gas station where he finds a bundle of twenty dollar bills out in plain view. We get the sense that he tries to be honest because he doesn’t take the money and he buys gas with the last five dollars that were in his wallet, just enough to get him to Red Rock and not any further. He then gets turned down from his job because he told the truth about his leg being injured. When he goes into the Red Rock Bar we can see the change in his life coming. He walks in from the bright daylight into the darkness of the dimly lit bar. This lighting hints to the audience that from that point on Michael is fated for disaster.
drove to Roswell with some of the debris and he showed it to the Chaves
How many times do you get in your car, thinking it will explode? probably never. The passengers on the Challenger didn't think so either. The Challenger explosion was a disastrous and life changing event in history.
Even though there were many factors contributing to the Challenger disaster, the most important issue was the lack of an effective risk management plan. The factors leading to the Challenger disaster are:
...l meteorites that collide with the earth often leave a crater or some type of fragments left behind. But this event was only getting remarkable by the day. One thing that really stunned scientists as they searched were the tree patterns. In fact, the forest fall left a butterfly pattern which was significant but yet oddly strange. According to Ol’khovatov, the forest-fall disappears just a few kilometers to the west of the epicenter, and the farther to the west are where rare fallen trees exist. And similar to what was stated above, there were attempts to stimulate the forest fall by a meteoroid explosion. Though, the results were remarkable they knew from large observational data-set that a meteoroid would disintegrate before impacting with the earth. In order for the trees to have a significant pattern the meteoroid had to be an enormous block of super-explosive.
Collins and Pinch draw a distinctive line between what actually happened and the public’s perspective on what happened. The public had a compulsive desire to create a moral lesson and provide heroes and villains. Many people misconstrued this as a conflict between the knowledgeable engineers and the greedy management. The public believed that NASA and Thiokol’s managers were ignorant to the engineering, but this is not true, since they were all engineers before their promotion to management. The authors stress the phrase “after the event” to show that hindsight bias is contributing to the public’s view on what actually happened. The physicist, Richard Feynman, awed the public with a demonstration of putting rubber, the material of the O-ring, in icy water. Th...
The Blast Off was lined with photos of rockets charging into space. George settled into the bar stool, took a drink and put the glass down. Joe recognized this as the preparations prior to the start of a story and hoped he had heard it only a few times before.
By then Michael was kicking chairs and almost breaking into tears, he was extremely depressed. This meant he could never play football again, he loved it too much to give it up but he might have to. Michael couldn’t stop thinking about how he couldn’t play football. He just wanted to get back on the field and catch the ball and forget about everything, he wanted to play the game, forget about everything, and stay in that intense moment when the balls hurtling towards you and you could be the one to score for your team. He also thought that they might not be able to pay for the surgery(Concussion Legacy Foundation)
America was committing itself to winning the so called “space race” against the Soviets. They were ahead at the time, having already launched Sputnik successfully. This was the start of satellite technology. In 1957, America failed to send Vanguard into space, though Explorer I was launched successfully a month later. Officials knew America needed a more organized effort if we were going to win the space race. During the Space Race, the Soviets were first to place a satellite in orbit, first to send a probe to the moon, first to place a human in space, first et cetera, et cetera. They had an impressive amount of accomplishments. America had to land a guy on the moon and safely bring him home. That moment happened on the 20th of July 1969 when a radio signal came through: “Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.” This quote rests forever in Earth’s book of moments when every person was awestruck. The race to the moon was over. Neil Armstrong was about to step foot where no one had gone before. Also during the Cold War, The North American Aerospace Defense Headquarters (NORAD) is a complex built 2,500 feet inside of Colorado’s Cheyenne mountain. It was created in 1958 to detect and track the Soviet Union’s nuclear missiles during a strike. Since the Cold War era has ended, the employees monitor air traffic of planes and
On a cold winter’s morning on the 28th day of January in the year 1986, America was profoundly shaken and sent to its knees as the space shuttle Challenger gruesomely exploded just seconds after launching. The seven members of its crew, including one civilian teacher, were all lost. This was a game changer, we had never lost a single astronaut in flight. The United States by this time had unfortunately grown accustomed to successful space missions, and this reality check was all too sudden, too brutal for a complacent and oblivious nation (“Space”). The outbreak of sympathy that poured from its citizens had not been seen since President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. The disturbing scenes were shown repeatedly on news networks which undeniably made it troublesome to keep it from haunting the nation’s cognizance (“Space”). The current president had more than situation to address, he had the problematic undertaking of gracefully picking America back up by its boot straps.
It created a gouge several hundred feet long and was scattered over a large area. Some of the debris had strange physical properties. He took some debris to show his neighbors then his son. Soon after that he notified the sheriff. The sheriff then contacted the authorities at Roswell Army Air Field Base. The are was closed off and the debris was eventually flown by B-29 and C-54 aircraft to Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio.
The presidential commission examining the Challenger mishap put a decent part of the fault on defective administration rehearses at the space organization. Key data was not being identified with top administration, for example, the developing worry about the O-rings. It additionally blamed NASA for withholding data from the general
