Topic: SpaceX - human off Earth

1. Discovery - How was science applied to address a specific problem?
Share what problem or question existed that implored scientists to investigate
Making life multiplanetary; Is it possible let human exist on other planets?

Share what the investigation was and how it changed our understanding
Investigation: BFR
With BFR in fully reusable configuration, without any orbital refueling, we expect to have a payload capability of 150 tons to low Earth orbit.
Really makes a tremendous difference is in the cost
This is essentially combining the upper stage of the rocket with Dragon - it is as if the Falcon 9 upper stage and Dragon were combined.
Design of delta wing at the back of the rocket expands the mission envelop …show more content…

Timeline - When did your discovery occur and how did it change our understanding of space?
Share where our current understanding was before the discovery
Current understanding: humans can’t live on other planets yet.

Discuss when the discovery occurred and over what timeframe it developed
Their discovery occured in 2008, starts with Falcon 1.
Up until now, they have made 14 different rockets for this discovery, some of their big achievements are:
9/28/2008 - Falcon 1 Flight 4 - first time Falcon 1 reached orbit
12/8/2010 - Dragon spacecraft successfully Re-Enters from orbit - a commercial company has successfully recovered a spacecraft reentering from Earth orbit
5/22/2012 - Falcon 9 rocket launches a Dragon spacecraft - the first commercial company in history to attempt to send a spacecraft to the International Space Station
2017 - Elon Musk introduced design of BFR - a fully reusable rocket

3. Evaluation - How valuable or important was this discovery in our understanding of space?
Discuss and evaluate how big of an impact this discovery made
The mission and the design of the updated rocket BFR impacts human technology and future. The design of BFR give humans the possibility of living on other planets. Although it will take a long time to achieve, it must be a huge part of the future of

In the 1500s and 1600s, the scientific revolution changes the way Europeans looked at the world, they began to make conclusion based on experimentation and observation instead of accepting traditional ideas. ‘’Although new knowledge emerged in many areas during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, including medicine, chemistry, and natural history, the scientific achievements that most captured the learned imagination and persuaded people of the cultural power of natural knowledge were those that occurred in astronomy.” (348) Nicolaus Copernicus was a polish astronomer who published On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres, were he made two main conclusions, the universe is heliocentric not geocentric and the earth is one part of many

The printing press is now a tool to spread new ideas like wildfire, assuring that anything published will be widely seen. In addition, nation states are competing for power and wealth and there’s no better way to do that than to learn about the sciences to create new ways to solve problems, thus making money and gaining influence in the world.

Thus far NASA had primarily focused on taking baby steps to achieve what they had. While these achievement seem like incredible strides in our eyes, the amount of what remains in the universe to discover is limitless. Although in an ideal world we would have the resources necessary to continue growing at the same rate as during the Space Race, the current high costs of technology had created a roadblock in space travel. Roger D. Launius claims that NASA’s large and ambitious programs failed due to technological challenges and budgetary pressures. Therefore, the question arises; do the benefits outweigh the costs?

Space has helped hone the skills of scientist. By using satellite technology for space, they were able to use the same concept for Earth. Even with all the benefits of space, its major down falls are cost, risks, and low chances of reward for their efforts. Many space explorations cost fortunes with little to come out of it, making it almost seem not worth it. The risk is another key factor, with little known about the majority of space, many outliers can appear out of nowhere and can cause death to anyone that happens to be working up there.
