Matt--Moon

The moon is a historic place to some people but to others its just a thing in the sky to be explored. Scientist it’s a sicnice experiment. The moon is a huge night light in the sky. we are planning to go back to the moon in 2020 with new suits and new equipment. and we are planning on going to the moon in a new space shuttle. The new space shuttle is called Altair. The Altair dosent wait in low earth orbit and wait for a command module to join it. It just goes strait to the moon. The scientists say that Altair’s volume isn’t limited like Apollo’s lunar module. And since the Altair has unlimited volume it uses liquid hydrogen as its fuel. And since hydrogen bulkier it makes the tanks a lot bigger than usual. once on the the moon the men will need a ladder three times longer than Apollo’s. Our new space suits are supposed to be more advanced technology. The new space suits are supposed to be more lighter and stronger and more durable. They will be able to connect with other suits and consumable supplies. These new suits will have three valves instead of Apollo’s suits which had twelve. NASA are trying to minimize the tools needed and spare parts for the suits. There making it were the internal parts are hard to lose and if lost easy to find. The suits will degrade in stages and not all at once. When returning to the earth from moon it will probably be much like Apollo’s plan. The mission operators on earth will have to remotely verify the orion operational health before heading home to earth. If the scientist have any worries about the vehicles stability extra food and supplies will be sent on smaller rockets. It is fascinating to me on how science has changed now then my mom was my age.
