What caused England to become the leading textile producer in the 18Th Century?
Making cloth was the first type of manufacturing to benefit from the inventions of the 18th Century. During this period of the industrial revolution, England had the advantage of English inventors that sped up textile production and allowed England to be the world's leader. Here are some important inventors in England that impacted the textile industry: A. John Kay invented the Flying shuttle in 1733; B. James Hargreaves invented the Spinning jenny in 1764; C. Richard Arkwright invented the Water frame in 1769; D. Samuel Crompton invented the Spinning mule in 1779; and E. Edward Cartwright invented the Power loom in 1785. These English inventors were key to the English dominance in the textile industry.
Is the space shuttle program a total waste of taxpayer's money?
This question is asking for an opinion. Please feel free to add your own, but do not blank any previous answers.NO: * There have been many advances in technology, which have benefitted society in several ways, thanks to discoveries made under the shuttle program. * The quest for knowledge is a necessary part of human consciousness - it is an integral part of human nature, striving to answer life's questions that have plagued civilasations for millenia. The space shuttle program is a fantastic way of achieving answers to some of the biggest questions in science. YES: * Many people feel that the money should be spent on more pressing issues, such as of course, health and poverty. Some may argue that we are able to fly to the Moon, but can't avert crises on our front door. * The space shuttle program has wasted vast sums of public money. The shuttle fleet is ailing (recall the Challenger tragedy), and we haven't landed on the Moon for forty years, and beaurocracy has left NASA's space program with a lack of integrity.
How has space exploration changed Florida's economy?
In some areas of Florida, the economy has been negatively affected. With the Space Shuttle program now in "Mothballs" areas around Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center have high unemployment rates and property prices are terrible.
What economic impact did the challenger disaster have?
The Challenger disaster certainly did lead to a harsh economic impact. An average space shuttle launch costs about $450 million. Because STS-51L (Challenger's final mission) was a failure, the money spent preparing the mission was lost. As a result of the disaster, in 1987 the United States Congress authorized the construction of a new space shuttle to replace Challenger. Rockwell International was contracted to build the Space Shuttle Endeavour. Although Endeavour was built using structural spares and some spare parts, its construction still cost about $1.7 billion. The primary objective of STS-51L was to deploy the TDRS-B (Tracking and Data Relay Satellite) communication satellite for use by NASA. The satellite cost NASA about a quarter of a billion dollars. TDRS-B was later replaced by TDRS-G on STS-70 in 1995. Another big impact from the Challenger disaster was the cost of the investigation into the accident, correcting problems that lead to the accident, improving Space Shuttle safety, and replacing lost equipment. In 1986, NASA estimated these as costing $240.5 million in 1986 and $245 million in 1987. However the actual costs were larger. There are many other NASA projects and economic factors that were impacted by the Challenger disaster. For instance, NASA's part-time astronaut program and the Air Force's Vandenberg AFB launches were canceled. Calculating the total economic impact of the Challenger disaster is probably impossible.

What impact on society did the flying shuttle have?
The Flying Shuttle was made by an English inventor named John Kay in 1733. It was used for making weaving much faster. Allowing people to make larger looms operated by one person, Using levers and springs to pull the shuttle back. The Flying Shuttle became a very important invention in the textile industry, eventually put one or two shuttle throwers out of a job. The Flying Shuttle did use a lot of yarn and did make the supply of yarn even worse. The invention could produce a large piece of cloth; the invention was thrown by a leaver that could be operated by one weaver. Kay placed shuttle boxes at each side of the loom connected by a long board, known as a shuttle race. A single weaver, using one hand, could cause the shuttle to be moved back and forth across the loom from one shuttle box to the other. Some woollen manufacturers used the Flying Shuttle but did not pay him royalties. Many people from the textile industry were of course very offended and attacked John Kay home and destroyed his invention, because they thought "The Flying Shuttle" was such a successful invention it would have taken work away from them. Many people have tried creating well duplicating his invention but have not really succeeded. Inventions of the revolution in textiles were weaving and spinning while the Flying Shuttle had the scene of mechanical weaving; the spinning frame was also important making the textile industry. John Kay's invention had lead the industrial revolution. Without his Flying Shuttle, there would have been no need for the spinning machines that followed, Like the Spinning Jenny for instance.
