Introduction- Thesis Statement: Millions of people around the country tuned in to watch the Challenger shuttle launch on January 28, 1986. However, only seventy-three seconds into the launch, the shuttle exploded. The Challenger crew was composed of seven astronauts including the first teacher in space, the second American woman, the second African American man, and the first Asian American in space. Three major effects of the Challenger explosion include the investigation of NASA safety procedures, new innovations in shuttle design and composition, and an attempt from NASA to further reduce risk during spaceflight.

Survival of the Sickest, by Dr. Sharon Moalem, is a book that reveals the origins of some modern diseases that beset us today. It explains how these sicknesses have been passed on for so many generations, and the impacts they have had on humanity, thus shedding a new light on them. By reading this book, much can be learned from the many different infections the author wrote about. However, hemochromatosis, diabetes, and progeria most exemplify how such terrible diseases worldwide could have provided evolutionary advantages for our ancestors. Hemochromatosis, an inherited disease, is a condition in which the body produces excess iron thinking there isn’t enough iron in the intestines, even though there is.
A takeoff briefing is a requirement that must be accomplished by flight deck crew members or pilot in command, in accordance to the FAA, company standard operation procedure, and POH. The purpose of a takeoff briefing is to review and establish in the pilot flying mind, what actions are going to take and go in the event of an engine failure, during takeoff and initial climb. In order to avoid complacency, the briefing given by the pilot in command (PIC) or pilot flying (PF), should be specific for each flight, and completed prior to taxiing onto the runway. Different emergency scenarios that could occur during takeoff should be talked through, for example which conditions to reject a takeoff: fire, failure, fear (catastrophic, wing or structural damage), and shear (wind-shear). The FAA

BIOGRAPHY Edgar Allen Poe was a very creative writer, he was the first person ever to make a full time living off of writing alone. He was very different from other writers. People thought that there was something wrong with him the way that he writes because it was a very dark perspective. He wrote horror, mystery, fiction, macabre, poetry, and even criticism. Edgar had a very unfortunate childhood and started writing at a young age also.
The lives of many have begun to suffer and wipe out. With loss of hope and no money to spare many have given up or have pleaded for help to the president and others. With families the depression has forced many to hate their life. Know one expected the rapid job loss and with it to come people can’t provide food,clothes, or a roof over their head. What are the citizens supposed to do now?
On July 20th, 1969, the Apollo 11 with astronaut Neil Armstrong and his crew, guided by thousands of NASA technicians, supposedly landed on the surface of the moon. It was certainly one of the most extraordinary events accomplished by mankind up to that date. Neil Armstrong’s first words upon stepping on the moon surface will always be remembered “ A small step for mankind, a giant leap for humanity”. Ever since then, this achievement has been a matter of discussion by several groups that either believed or disbelieved this.
