Spacecraft carriers provide an ideal environment for repairs, maintenance and movement of multiple spacecraft at once, making for more efficient movement of both manned and unmanned spacecraft. Spacecraft launched from carriers are vulnerable targets for enemies due to lacking any protection themselves and are easily taken down by opponents. Spacecraft A spacecraft carrier is an…
Family-owned trailer manufacturer CMI Cargo Trailers designs trailers ranging from 30′ to 57′ in length and customizes them according to buyer requests. Experienced in translating ideas sketched on napkins into comprehensive blueprints, CMI excels at leading customers through this process. Standard equipment includes two air conditioners, a water heater, full-body basement storage and solar panels….
The sky is blue because when light travels through our atmosphere it gets scattered by molecules in the air; blue wavelengths tend to get scattered more than violet ones. This song reminds us to remain hopeful even during difficult times, knowing that things will eventually improve. The sun will continue to shine and things will…
Apollo command module power was supplied primarily by fuel cells that used hydrogen and oxygen as feedstock to produce electricity, producing drinking water that astronauts consumed as drinking supplies. NASA developed this technology as batteries would add too much weight, and the group that created these cells, now known as HyAxiom Inc, still produces them…
As you explore our Solar System, it is essential to determine which planets are the closest to Earth in terms of atmospheric proximity and why their atmospheres vary so drastically from each other. Venus, considered Earth’s “sister planet,” can often be confused for being too hot; this is because of its thick carbon dioxide atmosphere…
The sky is blue due to small molecules in the atmosphere scattering shorter wavelengths more effectively, known as Rayleigh scattering. As sunlight hits clouds, its light is scattered by larger water droplets or ice crystals which scatter all colors equally so white light remains visible. Light tends to travel upwards or to the sides, creating…
Plants undergo a life cycle which includes stages such as germination, growth, flowering and seed formation. In this article we will focus on the flowering lifecycle. Once a seed reaches optimal conditions of moisture, warmth, and light, it sprouts into a seedling with roots growing down to anchor it into the earth, while stems extending…
As ships sail the seas or rockets launch into space, each mission’s name holds a special allure – but who decides what these powerful machines should be called? Answering that question involves equal parts history, tradition and mythological symbolism. NASA has had a protocol in place since the early 1960s for naming missions and spacecrafts….
The Sun’s gravity holds together our Solar System, keeping planets, asteroids, meteoroids, as well as microscopic debris in orbit around it. At its core lies nuclear fusion processes which turn hydrogen into helium; all this heat makes up our star. This video from BBC Planet Earth series, hosted by David Attenborough. Volume Comparing planet sizes…
