Space Age: The Use Of The Commercial Industry In Space Activities

The leader of the opposition for the termination of the Arrow, Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, states that the production of the Arrow was also necessary for the creation of jobs and to increase the amount of highly educated workers in Canada, for which they would make a foundation for the science and technology industries in the nation. Pearson’s perspective is important to show that the Arrow would still contribute to creating a sustainable aviation industry in Canada even if it was ‘obsolete’ because it would set the base for the industry. Production of the Arrows would mean an increase of highly educated and skilled workers which meant solid ground for Canada’s future industries and prosperity. The Arrow’s long-term economic benefits outweighed the short-term

So in essence the business model changed forcing new companies to grow and the older ones that focused on the old structure

Now that the Space Race is over, what is the point? Are we wasting our money? Should we cut their budget? When the cold war ended with the soviets in 1991, it sparked up a debate as to whether or not the funding for the National Aeronautics and space administration should be continued. Although it may seem like a simple fix, it has proved to be one of NASA’s greatest and most difficult challenges yet.

Between the years of 1947 and 1991 the USSR and the United States remained in a long period of tension known as The Cold War. This war was a state of political and economical in proxy wars such as the space race and the arms race the lead to the weakening of American society and laws. Marking the end of the Cold War in 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed due to their economic failure and their approach to the space race. As the Cold War intensified there was a significant increase in infrastructures and military, a shift in education, and there was an overall fear in society. Education in the United States began to focus on science instead of general education in an attempt to try and win the “space race” against the Soviet Union.

The demand for manufactured goods during the war gave America’s economy a much needed boost. In addition to war wares, the United States also took great strides in the fabrication of steel and harnessed steam and electric power (U.S. Department of State. 2009). Not only had production levels increased, but the interest in scientific advancement rose as well. “In the years before 1860, 36,000 patents were granted; in the next 30 years, 440,000 patents were issued, and in the first quarter of the 20th century, the number reached

Masayuki Matsunaga was born on the island of Kauai in 1916 to a modest farm family. After working his way through college and graduating in 1941, he voluntarily joined the U.S. Army. In World War II, he served in the famed 100th Infantry Battalion, got wounded twice, and was awarded the Bronze Star. He joined the Military Intelligence Service to serve at the Pacific theater. At that point, he legally changed his name to "Spark" Masayuki Matsunaga, taken from his childhood nickname based on a cartoon character.

In this time it was known as the Gilded Age of American Autos. After cars became more popular as people saw them. The manufactures started to grow in numbers. During this Era there were more and more automobile companies popping up all around the United States. There were three major manufactures that still hear about and still have

Social and political factors are the driving force behind successful innovations. Political intervention can help open up new markets, which would otherwise remain unavailable. During the cold war, the United States funded and pushed many innovations in order to ensure its success in the space race. The reason the government spent so much money and put in so much effort was that they wanted to improve the country’s national defense. They were concerned with the Soviet Union’s scientific and technological research so they decided to combat them by increasing funding in R&D.

On September 12, 1962, at Rice University in Houston Texas, John F. Kennedy gave a powerful speech to garner support for the funding of the space race for the USA. He stated the importance of putting a man on the moon before the end of the decade in its efforts against the Soviet Union and the expectation was met in 1969 by the astronaut Neil Armstrong. His speech forged a new path that the US was heading and inherently started the revolution of the exploration of outer space. Kennedy’s “Moon Speech” makes use of ethos and Kairos to persuade the people of America to become interested in and invest in the ongoing space race. A very important factor in JFK’s speech was his effective use of rhetoric, notably ethos, which he used to make himself become more believable and authoritative.

Should we spend taxpayer money to invest in the space program? The space program is a program to pioneer the future in space exploration. The program has consumed about 18.4 billion dollars on trying to explore the barren and empty place they call space. This money that 's used on this space exploration comes from our taxpayers.

I decided to study the technologies used in the Apollo missions. I came across the obvious ones such as the relationship between the Moon and Earth, the surface of the Moon, and the idea that the Moon and the Earth are genetically related. The Apollo missions brought in many accomplishments for NASA. They were able to bring hundreds of pounds of lunar samples to Earth as well as shaping the way for many other scientific advances. One of the technologies that stood out to me was the advancements in space food.

The schools started changing; their curriculums became much stronger in math and science. It was more a goal to develop an engineer than attorney; it just really affected our schools.” From this quotation one can see that the space race influenced the education in the United States and changed it for the better. Bradt says, “Though Sputnik was a relatively simple satellite compared with the more complex machines to follow, its beeping signal from space galvanized the United States to enact reforms in science and engineering education so that the nation could regain technological ground it appeared to have lost to its Soviet rival” (Bradt). Although the Sputnik was not known to be technologically advanced it was the first thing to orbit the earth, it stunned people in the United States and caused an instant response.

After witnessing the decline of new innovations by the world’s space programs since the ‘60s, he

Do you think government spending for NASA is ok? What's your personal opinion about it? There's a big controversy over the whole topic, some people think it’s dire for us to explore. Then there's people who think its a big waste of money. There's pros and cons to the topic just like any other situation.
