Introduction
I have always been fascinated by space, so limitless, so vast. As I got older I became more interested in our solar system and the thought of sending people to nearby planets, specifically Mars. I decided that not only can I increase my own knowledge about space, I can help other people along the way. This realization has lead me to decide that I want to become an aerospace engineer. I can make the world a better place through innovation and the discovery of new technologies, while at the same time exploring the possibilities of inter-planetary travel. In order to accomplish my goals I will need to learn more about aerospace and engineering.

What are your goals for the future?
My goals are to go to Raisbeck Aviation high school to learn about aerospace, then attend an aerospace enginnering college, and someday design spacecraft. My short-term goal is to attend RAHS where I will be challenged academically, prepared for college, and prepared for my future aerospace engineering career. After I graduate highschool I plan to attend an aerospace engineering …show more content…

Achieving my goals would help my community and the world in multiple ways. Going to Aviation high school and an aerospace college will help by bringing me closer to achieving my long term goals. Also, if I choose to design spacecraft, and eventually send rockets to Mars, it will benefit the economy by supporting many jobs. Another gain for the world is that when going on missions to space, organizations like NASA make many practical discoveries and advancements that directly help people on Earth. For example, the algorithm created to see images from the Hubble Space Telescope also helped scientists see X-Rays more clearly. Finally, if I send spacecraft to Mars, it will be the next “Giant Leap” for mankind, which is super cool. In conclusion, if I achieve my goals I will help the world both practically and

    To understand and appreciate why space exploration should be continued, its achievements must be revealed. The science behind space exploration impacts so much more than one might have originally assumed. According to Kristen Kumar, “Important technology areas that have been impacted by space exploration research include; human health, space power and energy storage, life support and communication and navigation” (Kumar, 2011, p. 195). All of the things listed above have been the focus of the space program, and the results produced have been significant technological advances. Some of the most beneficial innovations have been a direct result of space exploration research, enhancing human life, society and the economy. The importance of Space Exploration has been often overlooked and undermined, but that does not change what it has done for the wo...

  • Leaving Maine Street By Elfrieda Hiebert Essay

    Before you try and make a pretentious remark against my case, let me beat you to it. The most plausible reason in favor of space exploration is this. In “ Leaving Maine Street” by Elfrieda Hiebert, she makes the point that space exploration helps the economy and creates student careers. That of course is good in and of its own, but student jobs are even more in command right now than ever. Four out of five students graduate without a stable income, and an eight month one way journey to mars is about as stable as it gets.

  • Aerospace Engineer Essay

    547 Words  | 2 Pages

    Aerospace engineers examine, analyze, design, produce, and occasionally install components that make up aircraft, spacecraft, high-altitude vehicles, and high-altitude delivery systems (missiles). Satisfaction with the romantic image of rocket building can buoy many engineers through the highly anonymous work environments that many of them face. Individuals don't assemble rockets; teams do, dozens of teams working in highly supervised coordination. An aerospace engineer plays some part on one of the teams, spending more of her time (roughly 70 percent) in a lab, at a computer, and assembling reports than doing anything else. Not being able to see the "big picture" frustrates some professionals. The path to becoming an aerospace engineer is a rigorous one, but those who manage to survive the difficult lift-off emerge with an above-average degree of career satisfaction.
