The Benefits of Space Exploration : A 7 page essay
on some
of the benefits realized through the efforts of the nations space
programs. Critics maintain that the billions spent on space
exploration would be better used in other ways, that there are no
actual benefits realized aside from boosted egos. Topics the
paper addresses include: ozone studies, medical advances of
MRI and telemedicine, light touches on robotics, the cable TV
industry and TeflonŽ, and their effect both on the nations
people and on the national economy. FREE outline included.

Hubble Space Telescope : 12 pages in length.
In what
has seemed like the blink of an eye, scientific technology has
advanced the human race at such breakneck speed that scientists
are forever attempting to outdo each previous discovery with a
bigger and better replacement. Such is the case with the
fantastic discoveries for which the Hubble Space Telescope has
been responsible during the twentieth century. Had it not been
for the creation of such a monumental piece of scientific
machinery, the world would not have acquired the mountain of
information, photographs and previously unknown details that
have come forth over the last decade. Indeed, the proficiency of
the Hubble Space Telescope has allowed mankind to delve far
beyond the confines of conventional boundaries in order to
encourage further exploration of outer space. The writer
discusses revolutionary and evolutionary aspects of the Hubble
Space Telescope. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

How Has The Space Program Progressed? : 6 pages in
length. Inasmuch as the space program started out as more of a
competition between nations, it has blossomed into its own
fruition. Originally a quest to attain first bragging rights with
regard to space exploration, the program began as the result of a
rivalry between the Soviet Union and the United States around
the time of the Cold War. At that time, there was no way
America was going to be outdone by the Soviets when it came
to space exploration; because of the United States' steadfastness
to achieve greater success, the space program was implemented
in full swing. What has come from such intense dedication can
fill a multi-volume collection, from all the positive and
wonderful aspects to all the regretful and unfavorable events.
The writer discusses how the world has gained much
knowledge about what exists beyond this planet through the
explorations of the space program, an adventure that might not
have otherwise come into existence if it were not for the
inherent desire to be the best. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
