__A-Astronaut __
Astronauts where very important to the space revolution because they would risk there lives to go outer-space to find out more information. The first astronaut to step foot on the moon was Neil Armstrong in 1969.He had made it there for the Americans with his first words being “Houston, the eagle has landed.” // [|www.wikipedia.com]

__**B- Buzz Aldrin **__ Buzz Aldrin is an American mechanal engineer retired United States Air Force pilot and astronaut who was the Lunar Module pilot on Apollo 11, the first manned lunar landing in history. On July 20, 1969, he was the second human being to set foot on theMoon, following mission commander Neil Armstrong. []

__**C- Challenger **__ //The Space Shuttle Challenger disaster occurred on Tuesday, January 28, 1986, when Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, leading to the deaths of its seven crew members. It was one of the biggest accidents in space revolution history happening off of the coast of Florida in the Atlantic Ocean. []

__**D- Duke Jr. **__ Charles Moss Duke, Jr., a retired USAF Brigadier General, was a United States astronaut and engineer for NASA. He is the youngest of only twelve people who have walked on the moon. He was on the mission Apollo 16. []

**__E- exosphere__** The **exosphere** is the uppermost layer of the atmoshpere. In the exosphere, an upward travelling molecule moving fast enough to attain escaspe velocity can escape to space with a low chance of collisions; if it is moving below escape velocity it will be prevented from escaping from the celestrial body by gravity In either case, such a molecule is unlikely to collide with another molecule due to the exosphere's low density __** F- **__ __**G- Galaxy **__ A galaxy is a massive, gravitationally bound system that consists of stars and stellar remnants an interstellarmedium of gas dust, and an important but poorly understood component tentatively dubbed dark matter. When William Herschel constructed his catalog of deep sky objects, he used the name spiral nebula for certain objects such as M31 which determined that there are other gallaxies out there making people more curious with the more advanced the technology got. []// __**H- Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram **__ The Russel diagram shows you how all the starts are luned up. Its a scatter graph that the scientists use to see where they want to plot there next mission.  <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">google.images.com __**<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">I-International Space Station **__ <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">The International Space Station is an internationally developed research facility that is being made in low Earth orbit. Its completion date is set for late 2011. It is the largest artificial satellite to hover Earth. It is helping the human race to research Life Sciences, Space Medicine, Human research, Astrometry and Meteorology. It is the first International Project in outer Space.

__**<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">K- Kennedy **__ <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Kennedy’s influence on the Space Race was after the Russians launched the first Satellite Kennedy was determined for the first man in Space to be an American. That dream did happen after his death 1968 .By:Kailin Mundt <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">[|www.allabouteverthing.com]

__**<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">J- Jupiter **__ <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system .One of the brighter items in our sky so it was one of the first plants to be discovered. Although no one knows for sure who discovered it. It is an important part in our solar system. By: Kailin Mundt <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> [|www.wikipedia.com]

__**<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">L- Light Years **__ <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">A Light Year is a unit of length, which measures the distance light travels in a vacuum in one Julian Year. The Light Year was thought of during the Early Enlightenment Age as it made it easier for Scientists. By: Kailin Mundt <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">1 light year= 9.460528 X 1015 meters. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">[|www.wikipedia.com]

__**<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">M- Monkey **__ <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Long before Neil Armstrong feet touched the moon Dozens of Monkeys went into Outer Space. The first ever Monkey astronaut was Albert a Rhesus Monkey but he died of suffocation during flight. He taught Nasa what was wrong with their flight and how to fix it and how live species react in Space. Since then many more Monkeys have been in outer Space.

__**<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">N-NASA **__ <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">In late Ninety 40’s, The Department of Defense were pursuing in Rocket Science this project was later known as National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Then after Russia launched the first Satellite, NASA was in full force to send a man to the moon and did just that December 24-25, 1968. Since then Nasa has sent many more people, sati lilies and even an ape to space. By:Kailin Mundt <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">[|www.nasa.gov]

__**<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">O- Ozone layer **__ <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">In 1985, English scientists first reported that the ozone layer above Antarctica<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> appeared to be thinning. This caused the revolution to have to slow down because they had to watch how much fuels they where putting in the. Scientists began working on new technology to make it so that there would not be as much pollution while they where doing their research.

 * __P-Pluto__**

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Pluto was discovered from 1930-2006. It was considered to be our Solar System 9th planet, but because of its low mass and its unusual orbit it is now a Dwarf Plant. This changed the way we look at planets and name their status. Pluto is not the only Dwarf Planet Eris and Ceres are also Dwarf Planets. By:Kailin Mundt <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">[|www.planets.com]

__**<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Q-Quasar **__ <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">A quasi -stellar radio source our Quasar is an energetic active galactic nucleus. Known as the most luminous objects in the universe they were a bit of a controversy over these the nature of the no clear data to their nature.Which is why scientists want to know more.

This also made her the first civilian in space[|[1]] On this mission, lasting almost three days in space, she performed various tests on herself to collect data on the female body's reaction to spaceflight. // //<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">[|http://en.wikipedia] [|.org/wiki/Valentina_Tereshkova]//

//__**<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">U- Uranus **__// //<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">__Sir__ [|William Herschel] announced its discovery of Uranus on March 13, 1781, expanding the known boundaries of the Solar System for the first time in modern history. Uranus is the seventh [|planet] from the [|Sun]. It has the third-largest planetary radius and fourth-largest planetary mass in the [|Solar System]. // //<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranus // //**<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">V- Viking ** **__﻿__**Mission// //<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">The Viking mission was launched Aug. 20th 1975 to mars. After it had landed something went wrong and it lost its orbital so they sent another on on sept.9 1975 It has been there for the past 30 years trying to determain if there was life on mars at one point in time. // //<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">www..nasa.gov/spacemission http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/viking/ __**<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">W- Worm hole **__ In physics, a wormhole is a hypothetical topological feature of spacetime that would be, fundamentally, a "shortcut" through spacetime. For a simple visual explanation of a wormhole, consider spacetime visualized as a two-dimensional (2D) surface. If this surface is folded along a third dimension, it allows one to picture a wormhole "bridge". [|www.nasa.gov/wormhole]__ __<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">APEX was launched on the Pegasus air launched booster in August of 1994. It carried three Department of Defense experiments which were designed to test the effects of space exposure and radiation on solar arrays and electronic circuits. __ __<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> [|www.nasa.gov/APEX] __ __<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Y- __

The space revolution is still going on today and will never end as long as there are things to explore outside of this world. There have been many missions to fail and many to succede. There will be more to come for both. The space Revolution is mainly between Americans and Russians. It will always be a race to see who can go onto the next step first.
