William Boeing became fascinated with planes after flying in a hydroplane over Lake Washington in 1914. Boeing and his close friend, Conrad Westervelt, decided they could build a better plane after a few more sessions. A small building housed the first design of the Boeing plane and on June 15, 1916 the B&W Model 1 was born. Now, Boeing is the largest aircraft company in the world.…

6) Boeing Corporation is a world leader in commercial aircraft. In the face of competition, Boeing often faces a critical decision: whether to develop a new generation of passenger aircraft.…
Space is the final frontier that we now know so much more about due to NASA’s exploration and research in geology, medicine, engineering, chemistry, physics, and climatology. Exploration in the name of science has only broadened our education and understanding into our world and our universe. This thus far has really only been possible through taxes which make about 0.5% of the $3.4 trillion United States federal budget. Once again, NASA. science is focused on better understanding of the Universe. As Carl Sagan said, too much money is being wasted on unnecessary pursuits, compared to the little amount required by NASA.…
Sure we have issues on the Earth. We have people suffering and diseases spreading but space can inspire generations of kids, knowing they may have a future on a different planet or a really meaningful…
Much has been written about the Apollo missions and how they have changed history, and especially, enhanced our technology. Much of the technology we use today can be pointed back to NASA and its impact on the extreme technological advancement we have seen experienced the space program started over 50 years ago.…
1. What are the benefits to Boeing of outsourcing so much work on the 787 to foreign suppliers? What are the potential risks?…
Tesla is an all electric automobile company, SolarCity is a solar energy company, and SpaceX is an aerospace manufacturer and transporter. Tesla and SolarCity both are innovative forms of transportation and energy that are helping to contribute to a smarter and cleaner world, while SpaceX is working in the aerospace industry with the long term goal to colonize Mars. All three of these companies are impacting the world and the people in it. Although Musk may not be making thousands of people jump up and down in celebration, his companies are drastically impacting the world for the better.…
The SpaceX Mars Program and the Falcon 9 rockets are more complex than what the world thinks. The SpaceX Mars Program launches the rockets that are designed by entrepreneur Elon Musk, with the goal to reduce space transportation cost and enable colonization of Mars. However, The Falcon 9 is the process of landing rockets correctly and what will have to be done before sending humans off to Mars. Even though, in the article “SpaceX Mars” explains the trip to Mars and the number of expenses for safety that is needed to continue the process. On the other hand, “The Falcon Has Landed” presents a stronger argument by indicating that focusing on the rockets can increase the chances of improving landings, safe transports, and reducing cost.…
NASA’s vision as an organization is “To reach for new heights and reveal the unknown, so that what we do and learn will benefit all mankind” (2011 NASA Strategic Plan, 2011). Their Mission is to “drive advances in science, technology, and exploration to enhance knowledge, education, innovation, economic vitality, and stewardship of Earth” (2011 NASA Strategic Plan, 2011).…
Space exploration has always been fascinating, and it gives us hope of finding something new. According to the video “Space Race: 20th Century Timeline and Firsts,” “though the idea of space travel was discussed for hundreds of years, the field of rocketry got its first big boost in the early 20th century.” A century ago, space exploration was just a concept or a dream for mankind, but this idea had been accomplished by the developed of powerful rocket which overcome the force of gravity. In the beginning, on March 16, 1926 an American physicist, Robert A. Goddard, launched the first liquid fuel rocket in history. After World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union created their own missile programs. On October 4th 1957, the Soviets launched the first satellite into space. Later on, a national goal of “Landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth within a decade” was set by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 (Space Race). On July 20, 1969, Astronaut Neil Armstrong was the first man walking onto the moon. The space exploration improved for the century, and now the advances of technology have pushed space travel to go further and discover other planets in solar system. However, in order to explore universe in details, many scientists have endeavored very hard to invent more new high technologies. Therefore, with its high technologies, space exploration has a lot of impacts on us today. For example, with the satellite system put up in the space, the weather forecast today has a high accuracy level, and this accuracy has helped in preventing many calamities. Besides the weather forecast, the satellite system also helps people to transmit the news or media all over the world almost instantly. Moreover, the researching space becomes a high paying jobs for many…
In 2.8 seconds the Tesla Model S P85D can go from zero to sixty MPH. Elon Musk is the owner of Tesla, Solar City, and Space X. All of those companies all have one thing in common they are all trying to help the world. Tesla is trying to solve the problem of fossil fuels by being an all electric car company. Solar city is using the greatest source of energy from the sun to power your home. Space X is trying to expand the world by exploring other planets in addition to Earth. As the owner of these these companies Elon Musk is a hero because he helps the world and makes it a better place by trying to use alternative fuel to help to eliminate our carbon footprint.…
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, more commonly known as N.A.S.A, was started after the Soviet Union sent a satellite named Sputnik into space the year before. They are a government agency in the United States of America that has taken on the task of researching science and technology related to space and air [1]. NASA has gone from one amazing accomplishment to another year after year since the space race. NASA’s goal is “to reach for new heights and reveal the unknown so that what we do and learn will benefit all humankind”[1]. For over 50 years NASA has been trying to answer the questions all of mankind has about the vast wonders of space. In the beginning of NASA applications for space technology were being developed by use of weather and communication satellites. After the first steps on the moon by Neil Armstrong during the Apollo 11 mission on July 20, 1969 NASA concentrated on developing a reusable ship for access to and from space using the vessel known as the space shuttle [1]. The first launch of the space shuttle was in 1981 and it flew over 130 flights before being retired in 2011. A multinational project in 2000 representing the 16 nations work was started, the Russia and the U.S. established constant human presence aboard the International Space Station [1]. NASA research peaked again in 1997 when the mission to mars began. The Mars Pathfinder was a spacecraft sent to explore Mars within the next ten years so scientist can determine if life ever existed there. As the new century turns about, NASA reaches across the universe. The Rover is still currently exploring Mars after its arrival with his brother Spirt in 2004. While Cassini orbits around Saturn, Juno will trek his way to Jupiter. The Hubble Space Telescope examines and discovers the innermost workings of the universe. NASA is in the business…
