Neil Armstrong Facts & Worksheets
Neil Armstrong was born on August 5, 1930 just outside of Wapakoneta, Ohio. Armstrong was interested in flight from a very early age. When he was just two years old his dad took him to the Cleveland Air Races and he took his first airplane flight in a Ford Trimotor (also known as The Tin Goose) with his father in Warren, Ohio on July 20, 1936 when he was five.

Will Getting To Space Someday Be As Easy As An Elevator Ride?
The most incredible scientific discoveries and ideas started long before they became realities and one of the most fascinating concepts originated over a century ago. It’s amazing to think that way back in 1895 the concept of a “Space Elevator” was first conceived by Russian scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. Even then, he considered a towering image that would stretch from the ground up to an awe-inspiring altitude of 35,786 kilometers, the height of geostationary orbit. Where did he get the inspiration from? The Eiffel Tower.

Problem of "Space Junk"
But debris or satellites left on high ground, where communications and satellite climate are often placed on geostationary pathways, can continue to orbit the Earth for hundreds or thousands of years. NASA states that, due to the speed and volume of debris in LEO, current and future spacecraft, research and operations are critical to the safety of humans and property in space and on Earth. Although several mitigation techniques are being developed to extract (or extract) the remnants of space, tracking and monitoring fragments that pose a high risk of impact is still the most effective protection against orbital travel.

Future of Commercial Space Flight
TITUSVILLE, Florida - The first commercial SpaceX commercial aircraft comes after a successful launch at the Kennedy Space facility on Sunday night. Crew Dragon Capture will now go to the International Space Station with its first official astronauts: Michael Hopkins of NASA, Victor Glover and Shannon Walker, and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Shoichi Noguchi. The plane follows a recent SpaceX exploration in May when Americans Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley return to space on an American plane.

How old is the universe?
The Messier 69 global collection is very unusual because it is old, with indications that it forms only 5% of the current universe (13 billion years ago).

Travelling across the Universe at the Speed of Light
Light is a form of energy, an electromagnetic radiation which is the fastest traveling entity. It travels at a baffling speed of 299,792,458 m/s. This is fast enough to travel around the earth over 7 times in a single second. The fastest humans have ability to travel across space is 587,000 km/h, which is attained by the recently launched Parker Solar Probe, which is currently revolving around the sun. This is a measly 0.0005433333 times the speed of light. This is enough to travel to the moon and back in close to an hour and 20mins. Though the light from moon travels to earth in less than 2.5 seconds.

Can we live on other planets?
The idea of life on other planets has always been a mystery to science. Currently, Earth is the only planet where human beings survive. There is less to no probability of human beings to survive on any other planets with help of no special equipment. On the other hand, if the star were too hot, radiation would quickly disperse the solar nebula, leaving smaller planets with no atmosphere or system of millions of tiny asteroids. If it were too cold, the protoplanet's atmosphere would not be destroyed, which could lead to the formation of a planet system similar to Jupiter, but much larger and much larger. If the formation of planetary systems and the decline of astronomical rotation are the result of the presence of solar nebulae, then the hot stars that disperse their solar nebulae and do not form planets should be expected to orbit rapidly.

Elon Musk and China: Where's the Beef?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but does it make sense to you, that a private citizen - any private citizen, can potentially cause this country to come that much closer to the brink of war?

Titaness
‘She’s out there again,’ Maria said. Julien sat at the table behind her as she looked out of the large, semi-circular window that occupied one side of the room. Their apartment sat atop a towering, cylindrical block that droned quietly each day as it worked hard to mimic Earth’s gravity within. It sat near the centre of activity on Saturn’s satellite, Titan, and Maria was not able to shake the feeling of being always on display.

2021 was a colossal year for space investigation. 2022 could be much greater.
The year 2021 will likely go down in the archives of room history as a defining moment, a second when conventional residents began leaving Earth consistently. Numerous groups took off on a few diverse space apparatus, and for a short second this month, there were a record 19 individuals in the weightless climate of the room — and eight of them were private residents.

James Wabb Space Telescope
Unlike Hubble, which enters and exits the Earth's shadow every 90 minutes, Webb will have an unmistakable vision that will allow scientific work to be done 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As it will always be in the same position concerning the Earth, in the sky at midnight. about 1.5 million miles from there, we can have regular contact with it as the Earth orbits a deep space network (DSN) using three large earth horns found in Australia, Spain and California. Data will be transmitted from JWST to Earth via NASA's extensive space network, processed and rated at STScI, and distributed online to astronomers around the world.

Leonids, the Most Anticipated Meteor Shower of the Year!
We all know the classic story about the wishes that come true if they are uttered the moment we see a shooting star. Don't you have a lot of desires and want to see at least one star so that you can hope that you can fulfill at least one dream?
