This movie is marvelous and you and anyone you know should watch it. In the movie Star Trek Into Darkness The Starship Enterprise returns home after an act of terrorism almost ruining Starfleet.

Eric Graham The Scorch Trials Did you ever want to see The Scorch Trials ? I’ll answer for you. You don’t. While the first movie based off of the books, The Maze Runner , was pretty good and accurate, The Scorch Trials is a major disappointment.

To list a few: someone signals a whole bunch of helicopters from miles away with

Persuasive Essay - Space Exploration Technology Did you ever want to skype your friend from Mars? Well, too bad, you won’t be able to skype, but you could still send a postcard (it would probably be very expensive, if you want it to actually be sent from Mars)! Seriously though, we should spend more money on space travel and exploration because spaceships need to be safer, more advancements in technology are an important part of colonizing mars, and it would be more than worth it to spend more on space. Spaceships and shuttles need to be safer than they currently are. Many missions have ended in disaster, including; Soyuz 1, Soyuz 11, Challenger, Columbia, Apollo 1 (a ground test, even!), (6) and the first 3 unmanned SpaceX tests (5). The Challenger disaster still makes people sad today, and Christa McAuliffe’s (the first person of an occupation not relating to space, her being a teacher) husband, Steven, said of her, “Christa confidently and joyfully embraced life,

69.9% deaths from pollution would be avoided if we used renewable energy! We need to perfect reusable energy, after a while it gets a lot cheaper, and it for the most part safer to use a reusable method. Reusable energy is energy that can be easily replenished or infinite. It also creates tons of jobs. There are 7 types of reusable power, solar power, wind power, biomass, geothermal energy, hydroelectric power, hydrokinetic energy, and nuclear energy.(1) Wind-power spins a turbine which turns to energy.(3) Renewable energy is energy that can be reused forever.(2) Solar energy changes solar rays from the Sun into energy.(3) Geothermal energy is produced from heat and steam, the resources that are needed for these methods are at human disposal we just have to start using them.(3) Nuclear power is very efficient. Solar is quite easy to maintain. It creates tons of jobs.(4) Energy would drop 15.2% in cost if we used renewable energy.(4) After building the renewable energy produc
