Learning about space is difficult, but interesting. A Success in Space by Cameron Keady, and Comet probe may shed light on Earth’s past by Ashley Yeager. Both talk about the probe called the Philae lander, which landed on November 12, helped scientists take a big step forward in learning about space, it landed on comet 67P. The Philae mission was important for scientific research because it helped us figure out more of our solar system’s history, it helped us observe unique things about comet 67P, and it helped us achieve a massive achievement in space travel, being the first spacecraft to land on a comet. First, the Phiale mission revealed more about the history of our solar system. According to passage 2, paragraph 8, “By studying these hunks of rock, dust and ice, scientists hope to better understand the early history of our solar system—including Earth’s early years.” This evidence proves that the Philae mission helps us understand more of our solar system’s history because we examine the materials on the comet, which we can analyze to figure out more history, so without the exhibition to 67P, we wouldn’t have as much information about our early solar system. …show more content…

Next, the space mission to 67P helped us observe interesting things on the comet. Based on passage 1, paragraph 5, “It could reveal secrets about the makeup of comets, the formation of our solar system, and even the origins of life.” This proves that going to the comet helped us figure out things about 67P because the things found on it could reveal anything possible, so the 67P mission was a monumental achievement. Above all, the comet could reveal the secrets to our solar system, and even life itself. Finally, the trip to the comet was an amazing achievement in space

In Frederik Pohl and C.M. Kornbluth’s The Space Merchants advertising companies have close to unlimited power in the media and in government, and the company that Courtenay works for Fowler Schocken one of the largest advertising agencies in New York City. Courtenay is one of the top men at Fowler Schocken at the beginning of the novel and because of this only sees people as a tool for making money as evident through selling, “liquor and hangover remedies both” (Kornbluth 39). This is one of the more tame examples of how Courtenay views people. He fully believes that there is no higher calling than advertising and will do anything to get his product sold. Because of overpopulation natural recourses are very scares therefore advertising companies

Philae, which is “about the size of a washing machine,” landed on the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko, also known as 67p. Its mission was to gather “valuable information about the origins of our solar system and how it evolved.” While on the comet, Philae tweeted a photo back to Rosetta about the breathtaking view. It took an entire decade to get to 67p, but Philae’s stay there will be short – only about 64 hours. However, Rosetta “will continue to travel with 67p, sending information about the comet back to Earth for as long as it can.”

In passage 1 states, “A Success in Space" by Cameron Keady, “The Philae lander is about the size of a washing machine. It dropped from the Rosetta spacecraft and landed on the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko, also known as the 67P. This mission could give researchers valuable information about the origins of our solar system and how it evolved.” This evidence tells us that the Rosetta spacecraft landed on 67P because scientists needed it so they could research more about comets. Above all, the mission to 67P could give scientists knowledge they were unaware

Second, it can reveal secrets about the makeup of comets that we do not know. From paragraph 5, passage 1 it states, “It could reveal secrets about the makeup of comets, the formation of our solar system, and even the origins of life.” This explanation can show us stuff we did not know before just not about comets are solar system is one of the oldest things in our solar system so, it is great to find out the secrets about them so we can research and find out even more. Above all, we have not found out everything, but just think of all the things we have not even discovered yet.

This evidence shows that Philae was an important tool to bring back information about the comet (67p) because they studied rocks, dust and ice, so they could get a better understanding of the makeup of 67p. Keep in mind, Philae got stuck as well where it couldn't see anything. Next, Philae was good for bringing back information on the makeup of the comet with Philae s robotic feet. In passage 1 paragraph 5 it says, It could reveal secrets about the makeup of comets,”and in passage 2 paragraph 1 it says, And never has the chance of doing this been better than on the comet under Philaes robotic feet. This shows that the comet under Philae s robotic foot helped bring back information because it could bring back things and show things on the camera for scientists, so they can study it, above all it might be harder then before to bring information back because Philae is stuck in between something.

Do you think the mission was a success? In the passage “A Success in Space” the author Cameron Keady says that the mission was a success because it gives researchers valuable information that they can use to study more. In the passage “Comet Probe may Shed Light on Earth’s Past” the author Ashley Yeager says that the mission was a success because scientists are studying more about the kinds of rocks, dust, and ice which they will have success because they know more about space. The mission was a success because the scientists are understanding more about space, the researchers are getting more information that helps them, and because the spacecraft got some pictures of the comet.

Scientists are counting on the Philae lander to help them gather information about our wondrous solar system. The Philae lander is a probe, sent to outer space to gather information about comets. Scientists also think they might be able to learn more about the origins of our solar system and how it evolved. The Philae mission was important for scientific research because the Rosetta probe stepped in when the Philae lander couldn’t do it and the scientists will risk a lot to learn so much more about comets.

Question Set One ‘Life in Outer Space’ is Melissa Keil’s first young adult novel, after writing various children’s stories. This story is taken place in Melbourne, 2013. It is mentioned multiple times in the story that the story is set in Melbourne, most noticeably when the story reads “Schwartzman’s is a local diner, famous for its wonky Formica tables, its clientele of grumpy old men, and its coffee, which is probably the worst in Melbourne.” (Page 78), but the book does not specify the date of time.
