The document discusses the major milestones in the development of America's space program from 1961 to the present. It describes four major campaigns - Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and the Space Shuttle - that built upon each other and allowed for increasing levels of space exploration. Key events included the first American in space during Mercury, long duration and extravehicular flights during Gemini, the first lunar landing in 1969 by Apollo 11, and ongoing construction of the International Space Station by the Space Shuttle program.

This is an all-ages presentation on the roles of robots and astronauts in space exploration and on how anyone can explore space with the help of a computer through web sites and free downloadable software such as Stellarium (planetarium program, www.stellarium.org) and Orbiter (space flight simulator, www.orbitersim.com). When I do this presentation, I typically present live demos of Orbiter and Stellarium, but I also have a number of supplemental slides at the end showing screen shots of the many things you can do with Orbiter.
I have presented this talk as a volunteer NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador and as a member of the Aldrich Astronomical Society in Central Massachusetts.

Humans to Mars: Logical Step or Dangerous Distraction?James Vedda
This paper examines post-Apollo proposals for human exploration of Mars and assesses
their failure to win enduring political and public support. There are lessons to be learned
that are applicable to current exploration efforts. Foremost among these is that the path to
solar system exploration that has dominated the space community’s thinking since the 1950s
may not be a logical or politically feasible approach for the 21st century. The paper proposes
that human exploration of the Moon and Mars should be decoupled and treated as separate
ventures with each justified by its own merits and pursued at its own pace.

"Uncovering the Mysteries of the Space Shuttle Program"
Fact 1: The Space Shuttle was the world's first reusable spacecraft
The Space Shuttle was the first spacecraft that could be launched into space, return to Earth, and be launched again on a subsequent mission. This was a significant departure from earlier spacecraft, which were designed as one-time-use vehicles that were discarded after completing their mission.
The reusable nature of the Space Shuttle made it possible to conduct longer and more complex missions, as well as to conduct experiments and research in space more efficiently. The Space Shuttle was also used to deploy and service satellites, conduct repairs to the Hubble Space Telescope, and transport crew and supplies to the International Space Station.
Fact 2: The Space Shuttle was a complex and advanced spacecraft
The Space Shuttle was a highly complex spacecraft, consisting of several components that had to work together flawlessly to ensure a successful mission. The Space Shuttle consisted of the Orbiter, which was the vehicle that carried the crew and payloads into space; the External Tank, which held the liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen that powered the Shuttle's main engines; and the Solid Ro

3 … 2 … 1 …… Lift off of “Sputnik 1”, the first human made satellite to fly into space, that moment marked the beginning of the human space, we are all aware of the great achievements that followed this event, the first man to go into space, the first man on the moon, Voyager and the planets exploration, the human spaceflight, the space shuttle program and on and on, we grew up with these great achievements that make us proud to be humans … space is the ultimate limit, the gate where we stare to the deepest horizons of the universe, we all know that we are not alone in this universe, we all know that Earth has limited resources, and we all know there will come a day when we have to leave Earth and spread our genes in the universe .. the rockets on the launch pads today, are just like the ships in the Spanish harbors that carried Christopher Columbus and other adventurous people to the new world.
As entrepreneurs we look for the new big thing, and space is in the heart of the entrepreneurship desire, However there is a problem with the space industry: it is God damn expensive. It has been a long time in which space exploration and exploitation is restricted only to governments, the military, and big companies. The good news is: things are changing today with private companies and startups entering this new field. In this presentation, we will address this topic. We will look at the main features of this not well known industry from the perspective of a startup with low budget, and how to penetrate it. We will also look at the success stories of other startups in this field and what are the main applications that are suitable for a startup to focus on. So buckle on and come join me on this trip to discover the commercial space entrepreneurship, a trip “ to infinity and beyond …”

Before the ISS_ Exploring the International Space Station's Predecessor.pdfGet2 knowit
As we marvel at the International Space Station (ISS) orbiting high above the Soil, it's simple to disregard that this uncommon accomplishment of designing and universal collaboration had humble beginnings. The ISS stands as a confirmation of human inventiveness and participation, but its roots follow back to a period when space investigation was starting to require shape. In this investigation, we delve into the interesting history of the International Space Station's predecessor, uncovering the orbital pioneers and models that cleared the way for the surprising space research facility we know nowadays.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Building%20Blocks%20To%20Space
1. Building Blocks to Space 1
Building Blocks To Space
Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was America's
space program. It took decades of study and exploration to
reach the point where astronauts and cosmonauts could live
together in space for months at a time as they do now on
the International Space Station (ISS). The building blocks
to get to this point came in the form of four space
campaigns: Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and Space Shuttle.
The whole "space race" concept was underscored in a 1961
speech where president John F. Kennedy declared
America's resolve to land a human on the Moon by 1970.
The Mercury project was a series of six manned flights
that extended beyond Earth's atmosphere, taking place from 1961 through
1963. Though the goal was to orbit the Earth, the first two flights merely went
to suborbital altitudes beyond our atmosphere. While Mercury astronauts
learned first-hand of many space travel challenges, the issues were limited by
the reduced mobility the astronauts endured. The astronauts were strapped on
their backs for the entire flight, which ranged from less than a half hour to just
over a full day.
Mercury flights were launched with Titan and Redstone
rockets, and the astronauts splashed down in small recovery
capsules slowed by parachutes. The process of getting up
into space and back down onto Earth was a major
undertaking in itself. Because it had never been done
before, space vehicles had to be designed to overcome the
intense heat that would come as the craft re-entered Earth's
atmosphere. A lengthy debate ensued on the benefits of
using a large, copper heat shield to diffuse the
temperatures, versus ablation—the melting of a protective
layer on the capsule—to safeguard the passengers. Ablation
won, along with a change in design to create a blunt-ended
capsule, which would better dissipate energy and heat.
The 10 manned flights of the Gemini flight program followed Mercury and
extended from 1965 through 1966. Gemini built on the successes of Mercury,
stressing the goals of subjecting men to long-duration flights, and docking with
other orbiting objects. The longest Gemini flight lasted 10 days, and after
several attempts, Gemini was able to dock and separate from Agena, an
unmanned satellite. Astronauts participated in several extra vehicular
activities (EVAs).

2. Building Blocks to Space 2
Apollo's 11 manned missions brought heightened notoriety to the American
space program, which had been competition with Russia's corresponding
agencies. In July 1969, an Apollo lunar lander became the first Earth craft to
land a man on the Moon. While Apollo flights allowed humans greater mobility
while in flight, astronauts were still strapped on their backs in a small capsule
for re-entry into Earth's atmosphere and splash down into an ocean for
helicopter rescue. The Apollo craft consisted of three elements: the command
module, the crew's quarters and flight control section, and spacecraft support
systems. An Apollo command module was just a bit larger than a compact car.
Three men had to spend a week in these close quarters.
A part of the Apollo missions included the Skylab project, the first actual
Space Station. Four teams of astronauts spent several days each onboard
Skylab, an orbiting satellite, conducting numerous experiments that would have
been impossible on Earth. In fact, just being on board
Skylab was an experiment in itself. Skylab was launched
in 1973 and was expected to stay in space for 10 years.
An unstable orbit brought it to Earth in 1979.
Apollo flights also brought the Apollo/Soyuz missions
of 1975. This was the first joint mission sponsored by two
separate nations. The Russian and American flights
launched from their corresponding countries, and docked
to each other mid-flight. Apollo-Soyuz was much more
than a foreign relations improver; it allowed for the
exchange of information and technology from both nations and a spirit of
cooperation that would continue for decades to come.
The current phase of space technology is the Space Shuttle program. Begun
in 1981, there have been more than 100 Shuttle missions performed. One of
Shuttle's biggest projects is the construction of the ISS by astronauts aboard
the Shuttle.
Astronauts on the Space Shuttle have performed experiments, conducted
EVAs, and researched the effects of microgravity on various life forms,
including bacteria, plant life and humans. The Shuttle orbiter fleet currently
consists of five vehicles, all named for pioneering sea vessels: Atlantis,
Columbia, Discovery, Endeavour, and Enterprise.
The Space Shuttle project still continues during construction of the International
Space Station (ISS).

What lies ahead? The future is never laid out with certainty, but some good
guesses are aboard Starship 2040 (http://www.starship2040.com), a full-sized
mock-up of a commercial passenger spacecraft as it might look in the year
2040. Starship is housed in a 48-foot tractor-trailer rig and travels the country
showing its exhibit to illustrate how future space travel will look. Some exhibits
focus on propulsion technology, and others showcase the expected living
conditions of space travel 40 years from now.
