Today the Space Race is widely viewed poignantly and fondly as a race to the Moon that culminated with Apollo 11 “winning” the Race for the United States. In fact, it encompassed a much broader range of competition between the Soviet Union and the United States that affected everything from military technology to successfully launching satellites that could land on Mars or orbit other planets in the Solar System. Moreover, the notion that America “won” the Space Race at the end of the 1960s overlooks just how competitive the Space Race actually was in launching people into orbit, as well as the major contributions the Space Race influenced in leading to today’s International Space Station and continued space exploration. Space exploration was always an expensive business, and throughout NASA’s history, the agency has had to justify to Congress its need for every dollar it intended to spend. This problem has helped NASA to be more careful and more creative with the money they did receive, and scientists had to justify the equipment they wanted to include on each space probe. They had to justify the size and the power demand, too. If they wanted too much, the entire mission might be scrubbed, and all their work would have been for naught. This made planning and designs leaner and more efficient, as scientists and engineers were more careful with their recommendations. Although Apollo 11’s successful mission to the Moon is seen as the culmination of the Space Race, and the Apollo program remains NASA’s most famous, one of the space agency’s most successful endeavors came a few years later. In fact, the Pioneer program was the most diversified sequence of any of NASA’s programs, and though they’re now remembered for being among the first probes in history to reach the Outer Solar System, the elaborate planning changed goals several times over several years before resulting in historic successes.Voir livre
In America, liberalism brings prosperity to the majority? False. - In America, "anything is possible" for those who work hard? False. - In America, the unemployment rate is minimal? False. In America, poverty is relative and the poor live "like modest Europeans?" False. - In America, those excluded from the health care system receive free care when they really need it? False—really false. In an excellent investigation, with clear and relevant examples, Michel Desmurget shatters the myth of a beautiful and prosperous America where everyone can succeed as long as they are hardworking and courageous. Taking the opposite view of the current dominant discourse on the virtues of the Anglo-Saxon liberal model, the author writes a disconcerting antithesis, based on American researchers, sociologists and journalists who have studied the failures of the American model and who, for the most part, recommend surprisingly European solutions (universal social security, introduction of a minimum wage indexed to inflation, federalized education, etc.).Voir livre
The Federal government of the U.K. of Great Britain and Ireland segmented Ireland into 2 independent polities: Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland. The Federal Government of Ireland Act 1920 was handed down May third, 1921. Both parts were to stay inside the UK, and the Act included arrangements for supreme reunification. Northern Ireland was established with a devolved federal government and stayed a part of the U.K. Most occupants of Southern Ireland didn't recognize the self-proclaimed Irish Republic, choosing to recognize the larger Northern Ireland. The area of Southern Ireland withdrew from the U.K. and ended up being the Irish Free State, which is today the Republic of Ireland, following the Anglo-Irish Treaty. In this book, we will look at further details of the partition of Ireland.Voir livre
Critical thinking is the disciplined process of actively analyzing, evaluating, and synthesizing information to make reasoned judgments and decisions. It involves a systematic approach to thinking that seeks to uncover underlying assumptions, assess the validity of arguments, and apply logical reasoning to complex problems. At its core, critical thinking is about being intellectually autonomous and reflective. It requires individuals to question and scrutinize their own beliefs, the arguments presented by others, and the evidence supporting those arguments. Critical thinkers do not accept information at face value; instead, they engage in a process of inquiry that involves several key components. Analysis involves breaking down complex information into its constituent parts to understand its structure and relationships. This includes identifying the main arguments, assessing the relevance and quality of evidence, and understanding the context in which information is presented. Evaluation involves assessing the credibility and strength of arguments and evidence. This requires determining whether the arguments are logically sound, whether the evidence is reliable and pertinent, and whether there are any biases or fallacies affecting the argument.Voir livre
