What was Mae Jemison before she was an Astronaut?
Mae c jemison was a doctor also known as a physician & an astronaut for NASA
Well it all has to do with propultion like when a shuttle pushes with rocket thrust into space. I wouldn't say that what a rocket does is worthy of the term flight. A rocket simply provides a force that is greater than the force of gravity and thereby gains in altitude provided it is pointed in the right direction to begin with. True flight has to involve the use of air-foils or wings which turn velocity into lift. If you put wings on a rocket then yes rockets are capable of flight in that the rocket provides the thrust necessary to utilize the wings to provide lift.
What was the goal of the Challenger Mission?
the challanger was built to serve as a test vehicle for the (S.S.) Space Shuttle Program.
What are 5 facts about Mae C Jemison?
Who is Mae Carol Jemison?
Mae Carol Jemison was born October 17, 1956 in Decatur, Alabama. She was the youngest of all three of the Jemison kids and moved to Chicago when she was only three. While there, Mae discovered the world of science. She was interested in anthropology, archaeology, and astronomy and enrolled at Stanford University at age 16. In 1977, she graduated with degrees in both chemical engineering and African-American studies. She received a Doctor of Medicine degree from Cornell University in 1981.
Mae Jamison's success story
As a little girl, Mae was very confident. When she first walked into kindergarten, she could already read. She shocked her teacher when she told her she wanted to be a scientist. Not many women were scientist and even less was black women. Even as a little girl she had set her goals.
Her love of science caused her to spend a lot of time in the library. She read books about the universe and in sixth grade she read books like A Wrinkle in Time (which also read in sixth grade) and The Arm of the Starfish.. She was active in student government, acted in plays, and studied dance. One thing that she mentioned about dance class was that it helped her grow stronger and gain an appreciation for hard work, physical strength, and grace.
In college, Mae studied the physical and social sciences, and she also learned Russian and Swahili (the African language). She graduated with two degrees (in chemical engineering and African-American Studies) and received another one later on in medicine. She studied for four years and became a medical doctor.
Dr. Jemison has practiced medicine at a refugee camp and as a medical officer with the Peace Corps in West Africa. It was when she was working as a general practitioner in Los Angeles, California when NASA had chosen her as one of the fifteen people to undergo astronaut training. Dr. Jemison completed her training as a mission specialist with NASA in 1988. In t September of 1992, Mae was a mission specialist on the space shuttle Endeavour and she became the first African-American woman to go into space. In 1993, Dr. Jemison resigned from NASA and founded the Jemison Group, Inc. Some of her current projects include improving healthcare in Africa and advancing technology in developing countries.
Conclusion
Mae Jamison is an inspiring African-American woman. She stood up for her beliefs and accomplished what she wanted in life. She inspires me because she never gave up, accomplished her goals, and believed in herself. Even now I bet she is still inspiring the people that she sees every day.

Who were the four crew members aboard the space shuttle Challenger mission STS-6?
The Challenger had nine different crews before its tenth and fatal flight. The seven crew members who lost their lives on STS-51-L were Jarvik, McAuliffe, McNair, Onizuka, Resnik, Smith and Scobee.
What type of experiments are done in space?
Experiments done in space are normally done to see the effects of weightlessness (zero-G) on various physical and biological things.
Medical experiments are done on Astronauts to see how weightless affects them, both immediately and after long stays in space. Tests of the immediate effects include such things as how their balance organs work in weightlessness. Long term effects include the rates of bone loss, methods to reduce this loss and how various body functions and body chemistry change with increases in time in weightlessness.
Experiments on plants and animals include how they grow and whether the space environment causes mutations during reproduction. There are physical experiments such as how fire burns in weightlessness, how many small particles are moving around in the void of space (outside the spacecraft).
It means she doesn't like you enough to see you as much as you want to see her, hence, she "wants space;" however, she would like to use you whenever she feels lonely, then she "misses talking to you."
Well,that's the thing though she told me she wanted to be alone for awhile and asked for space she said before that everytime i talk to her she couldn't take it anymore cause i annoyed her that the reason she asked for space.so im asking y would she say something like that even though she wanted kept asking for space in the first place????
Maybe its not the talking she misses.she probly misses you and is probly feeling bad for herself and so she just said that so she can hide her feelings she has for you.I kinda seen stuff like this they ask for space and then in a few days or so they find out that they already regret doing and so they feel bad.yea i think its that im not really sure but i hope its goes well.
i totally disagree with the person who answered 1st. im thinking of doing he same thing, but not cuz i don't like the guy, because i don't think i know him well enoughfor him to be showing me so much attention. i want to get to know him but slowly. thers absolutely nothing wrong with him and i think hes really cute and nice, but he says hey and looks at me EVERY TIME i see him. he just needs to go slower. since she said she misses talking to you, obviously she didnt want space cuz she thought something was wrong w/ you. she still wants to talk with you. you probably backed off too much. just go slowly with her, she sounds like a very smart girl who has her head on straight. shes got more morals that tell her she needs to know you better before getting involved in a relationship.
take a deep breath. are you with me? she's not breaking up with you. she still loves you and wants to be with you. she needs space. no calls, no text, no letters, no emails. it's going to be hell on your senses, but she needs her space. let her breath. she'll be back. she'll miss you. if you're still there and you're still cool with her (that means not degrading or accusatory. abusive. whatever) then everything will be fine. think of your family and friends. if you get tired of being around them you feel boxed in. you give each other space to breath and grow. you don't cling to them and say "what? what's going on? don't go!" just chill. everything will be fine. keep living your days. read. go biking. disc golf. thumb wrestle. i don't know. just be cool and be yourself. everthing is fine, there's nothing wrong and she's not going to leave you. she just needs space to breath. put your hands in the air, take 2 steps back, and let her be.
What is the difference between soild and liquid fuel rocket engines?
A solid fuel rocket engine is just what it sounds like. The fuel inside the rocket is completely solid. In a liquid fuel rocket the fuel is a liquid.
Bottle Rockets that you can buy in many stores are fueled with Solid Fuel.
Most liquid fuel rockets contain 2 different types of fuel. Once that fuel is mixed and ignited you get your thrust.
Why was the space station Mir launched into space?
When Mir was deorbited in 2001 it had been in space for over 15 years. It had already surpassed its certified orbital lifetime. Not only was it falling apart (it became cluttered and had suffered both interior and exterior damage) but it was also being outdated. At the time of decommissioning the International Space Station was already in mid consturction and logistically and financially it would be unfeasible for Russia to have two space stations in orbit.
Can you hear a space ship explode in space?
Only if you're in another spacecraft, and the sound would be more of the shockwave than the actual explosion.
++
That's not correct. You would neither hear nor feel it as there is nothing to transmit the sound or shock-wave (essentially the same thing, a compression-wave through a medium). Your own craft might be hit by debris though.
Why can't the space shuttle land in the rain?
It is risky for any aircraft to land on a wet runway with redused visibility, but may be even riskier for the shuttle because it comes in at a much higher velocity and a steeper angle. Lol, it's just too dangerous.
AnswerAlso, because the weather- resistant coating on the white thermal tiles burns off during launch and reentry, there is a danger that rain could enter the space under tiles and cause them to dislodge when subjected to extremes of temperatures on a later mission. This would leave parts of the orbiter unprotected from the heat of re-entry.This is true, but more importantly the impact of the rain at the high velocity of the shuttle would damage the fragile tiles and require a significant time and expense to replace them before the next mission.
What is the farthest galaxy ever observed by Hubble?
The farthest galaxy ever observed by the Hubble Space Telescope is GN-z11, located about 13.4 billion light-years away. This means we are seeing the galaxy as it was just 400 million years after the Big Bang.
