  1. Space Exploration Michelle Moore. Chase Lenz, Laura Mangan

  2. Is Space Exploration and Travel Worth doing with todays resources knowledge and technology Pro: Space exploration is essential to our advancement in technology and should be a big part of our societies goals. Con: It is to costly and we should be worrying more about the problems we are having on earth. [http://blog.donnawilliams.net] [Space.com]

  3. What is Space Exploration? Space exploration is the study and discovery of outer space and its celestial bodies (planets, starts, asteroids, et cetera) Space exploration is done with probes, artificial satellites, manned missions, et cetera

  4. Timeline October 4, 1957: First Artificial Satellite November 5, 1957: First Animal is Put into Orbit Around the Earth July 29th, 1958: NASA April 12, 1961: First Human to Goes Into Space March 18, 1965: First Spacewalk December 21, 1968: First Manned Moon Orbit [Universetoday.com]

  5. Timeline (Pt 2) [Aerospaceguide.net] July 20, 1969: First Manned Moon Landing July 17, 1975: First Space “Meeting” April 12, 1981: First Space Shuttle February 20, 1986: Mir Space Station April 25, 1990: Hubble Space Telescope July 4, 1997: Pathfinder Probe Lands on Mars

  6. Failures of Manned Space Missions of the USA March 16 1966, First docking of space vehicle with another; Emergency reentry due to control malfunction April 23, 1967: Vladimir Komarov’sretroparachute failed to open. Resulted in death April 11. 1970: Mission aborted because service module oxygen tank exploded. Ships crew returned safely August 26, 1975: Failed dock with Salyut 3 due to Soyuz system failures April 5, 1975: Salyut 4 aborted- stage one failed to separate January 26, 1986: Exploded during takeoff

  7. Human Factors in Space Living in space is expensive to maintain Medical issues (muscles and circulatory system) Illness due to lack of gravity Possible psychological problems

  8. Saturn V-Rocket Height: 363ft Weight: 2.8 million kg, 118,000 kg (empty) Vertical Thrust: 7.6 million lbs Stages: 3 Debut: 1967 Cost: $1.2 billion Mission: Land on the moon (mission was a success) Success/Fail ration: 11/1 Used to carry the Apollo 11 crew to the moon Used 11 times Developed by Werner von Braun

  9. Bush’s Speech (2002) Gave goals for space exploration in the USA Finish the International Space Station by 2010 Create new vehicle for space exploration by 2014 Accomplish NASA goals by 2020, under budget

  10. Future Plans for Space Exploration Programs Scientists plan on going on more missions to the Moon and Mars NASA manned mission program funding was cut Other nations (China, for example) are expanding their space programs Privatizing the space industry

  11. Laws and Politics The United Nation of Outer Space Affairs 55/122 Resolution Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space

  12. Social Impact 2003 SARS outbreak in China Telecommunications Boosted the economy by 2% in the US Could benefit other economies Created jobs

  13. Opinions (pt 1) In a 1970 survey, 56% of Americans thought the US spent too much on space exploration 81% are also for space exploration Americans consistently say the US spends too much ¾ of Americans see NASA favorably Tend to be optimistic about manned long-term colonies on Mars 63% believe that astronauts will have landed on Mars before 2050 Americans tend to like the idea of space exploration, just not paying for it.

  14. Opinions (Pt 2) Pro Con The bible says our purpose is on Earth It’s expensive We should be focusing on problems on Earth before “finding another planet to destroy” This planet was created for us Technology isn’t advanced enough The space program has done nothing to help us It’s dangerous • Constantly advancing in technology due to the space program • NASA doesn’t use that much money (.4% of US budget) • Possible discovery of life on other planets • We’re too vulnerable on Earth • Space is fascinating • Exploration will kill our curiosity of what’s out there
