The colonization of the moon is the first step for humankind to become and interplanetary species. It is the only logical choice, becauseof its close proximity to Earth. There will be many advantages if the colonization of the moon is success. The colonization will consist of three mission, each bringingmore humans to work in and support the base. The first mission will carry twenty-five people and will install the basic necessities. The first components to be installed would be the power plants and communication stools, as well as the habitats. Other components, such as laboratories, transportation devices, and ports would come later. The colonization of the moon would take around five years. Thesite of the colony is an important detail. It must be near many resources, especially oxygen, in order for the colony to advance as quickly as possible. The location must also have adequate topography for transportation. The moon's poles are the bestlocation for the lunar colony. There is evidence that there may be water near the polar regions . The poles are exposed to the sun for the majority of the time; this will allow the colony to be powered mainly by cheap, clean solar power. Thesignificantly less strength of gravity on the moon will have a great impact on the architecture of the moon. There will be less materials used than structures on the Earth use. The first basicbuildings will be tent like and block harmful rays from the sun. As more material are mined and collected, the building will increase in complexity. because of the lack of weather on the moon the structure will be able to reach greater heights with less materials. The living quarters in the colony will simulate the day and night pattern of the earth. Other aspects of d...

...l be self-sufficient. If planning goes according to schedule, the first mission will begin during the year 2012. The first mission will consist for building the basic infrastructure and establishing communications. Establishing a source of power and the mining of necessary chemicals will also occur. The purpose of thisfirst mission is to make sure that the colony is ready for long-term stability. The purpose of the next two mis sion will be to bring materials to add accessories to the lunar colony. This includes a laboratory, a greenhouse, a telescope and other structures of scientific purpose. The lunar colony would be completed during the year 2017.

A thousand people are being chosen for a new democracy on the moon in the year 2066. A citizenship is the status of a person who under the law is a legal member of a country. When people have a citizenship they are granted more privileges and are given more rights to them. If a person is not from a country they could be naturalized in order to get their hands on a citizenship. For this new unique civilization there would be a jurisdiction which would help when choosing people to join the civilization. In order to have a balance, six hundred and sixty responsible responsible citizens, one hundred and ninety participatory citizens, and one hundred and fifty justice oriented citizens will be admitted.
The early missions of Project Apollo were mostly dedicated to the establishment and advancement of technology to meet America’s national interests in space. Apollo missions 1 through 10 were focused on building and testing the Command Module (CM), Service Module (SM), and Lunar Module (LM). Altogether the CM and the SM make the Command Service Module, or CSM.
Sometimes we all feel as if no one person could or would ever truly love us as we deserve. This is the case in the Moon for the Misbegotten. A young, not so attractive, wants to be loved but fears that if she did love, her life would not be as it is now. She fears change and not because she wants the life she is leading but because it means she would have to free herself from who she pretends to be.
The industrial revolution was a transitional era that brought new manufacturing practices in the 19th century. In its social structure, Britain was as aristocratic as other European countries, however the British aristocracy was probably unusual in the respect that it accorded commerce and manufacturing, and the gentry-dominated British Parliament energetically defended commercial and manufacturing interests against foreign competition. British law was certainly unusual in the protections it gave inventors and property holders. Between 1624 and 1791, Britain was the only European nation with a system of patent laws, designed to give inventors the profits of their achievements. The system both encouraged innovation and expressed British society 's admiration for it. In
If human kind is to conquer the solar system and reach for the stars, we must first start closer to home. In such a situation, creating a colony on our nearest partner celestial body, the Moon, would create an ideal opportunity to learn and explore technical capabilities and human characteristics in space. On board, there would be plenty of science to do, plenty of fun to be had, and plenty of knowledge to learn. However, a lunar base of this kind of complexity can not just be slapped together; it must be designed and detailed beforehand to ensure a safe working environment for those inside and around the lunar base.
Many reasons exist for such an undertaking, one being that the moon contains resources that could possibly be mined and used here on Earth for our own benefit – and profit. Also, the resources on the moon could be used as materials to build a lunar colony. The lunar crust is composed of many valuable elements, including uranium, ...
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.
When the astronauts landed in the moon Neil A. Armstrong said the surface was like a powdered charcoal and the landing craft left a crater about a foot deep. Only Armstrong and Aldrin went on the moon. The men were on the moon for twenty-one hours but only on the moon's surface for two and a half hours. The first things Armstrong did was collect samples and take pictures (BBC). When Armstrong stepped on the moon he said this very famous quote, “That's one small step for man, one giant leap for
With all the problems we have on earth and how much we don’t know about our own planet we shouldn’t be colonizing others. We may have the science but we don’t have the funds. We also have tons of willing people but not enough physically and mentally able to colonize a planet. Children are starving all around the world, People are homeless, and wars are starting. Humankind needs to achieve some sort of world peace before trying to explore space. Also, humans will end up destroying life if we try to colonize an
French colonization played a huge role in the spread of communism in Vietnam, due to poor treatment. I’m writing about this topic because as Americans we know communism is wrong. Yet, I feel that it’s important for people to know why the Vietnamese people were communist and how it came about. French colonization lead to many rebellions in Vietnam. Since the Vietnamese people were in such a bad state and wanted to be liberated they turned to communism. The Vietnamese rebellions used communism to unite the people and push forth their rebellion.
After World War II ended, a silent war slowly began between the USSR and USA. It was a technology war. The two superpowers raced to the moon, but they couldn’t do this themselves. Both sides tried to recruit the German scientists that were behind the V-2 rockets. Using the V-2 rocket technology that could reach the speed of nearly 3500mph, both sides rushed to find the brilliant scientists behind the rockets technology. The race to space was very important during this time because of the Cold War era and they used satellites to spy on one another. Both countries were strong military wise and it was an equal match but to prove who’s the strongest the race to space began.
The two biggest superpowers of the world were waging a war: a war of supremacy. Indeed, the U.S needed to beat its rival, the Soviet Union, to win the Cold War. Both nations wanted to be the first on the moon, therefore, the United States strived to win the Space Race and consequently have victory over the Cold War. Given these facts, the Space Race not only helped the Americans have advantage in the Cold War, but has also affected America to this day.
Then the United States launched the Gemini program. The program tested the skills that would be necessary for NASA to go to the moon in the 1960s and 1970s. The program had four main goals:[to examine the astronaut’s abilities to sustain themselves in space for extended periods of time, sometimes up to two weeks; in order to understand how spacecraft could engage and dock in orbit around the Earth and the moon; they also needed to prefect re-entry and landing methods; then analyze and understand the effects of longer space flights on
“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” It was July 20 1969, the day that reshaped our nation and gave us unparalleled dreams for the future. The impact of the day goes far beyond our pride and nationalism; that day would change space exploration and technology forever. Just like a shooting star, that day would give us a glimpse of hope. A chance to see an event so breathtaking and defying, it would be man’s greatest accomplishment in the 20th century. As millions of people watched from their TV sets, a rush of euphoria came over the nation as Neil Armstrong stepped foot on the surface of the moon. It was the first time in the history of mankind that we would step on the surface of another celestial body. John F. Kennedy dared us to dream, he inspired the nation to reach for the moon, to set ourselves apart from the rest of the world. The Space Race was symbolic of many things. Our future as the technically dominate nation was secured in place; just as secure as Old Glory would be, when she was driven down into the soil of the moon. We not only reached the moon, we conquered it as a nation; united.
malfunctions, and psychological problems brought on by isolation. The solution to radiation exposure is to have proper shielding for the astronauts. The physiological problems faced by humans in a weightless environment could be eliminated entirely, if they had artificial gravity. If some type of malfunction were to occur on the spacecraft, or the temporary settlement on Mars, it would be prudent for the astronauts to have an emergency escape vessel. Also, providing some type of normality for the astronauts while in space and on Mars, like artificial gravity, books to read, movies to watch, games to play, and the creation of a weekly support group, would promote a healthy psychological mindset.
