At this point, we may start to imagine that astronomy is not just about telescopes and taking pictures of objects in space. As that space shuttle begins to go, it needs fuel to go. And here we find our first science - chemistry.
The mixture of fuel which includes oxygen is one which needs top chemists to figure out what is needed to safely propel and bring back those astronauts. There is a need for mathematicians to figure out with the weight and all the other information and data, how much fuel is necessary to make that space shuttle go.
But, what about the space shuttle? We have forgotten about the engineers that had to make up this fine specimen […]
