Incorporating Sources Effectively

In Technology in Society Volume 29, Issue 3, written by, Roger D. Launius, curator of the Division of Space History at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum, and professor Howard E. McCurdy, “Astronomers have already captured images of planetary objects around nearby stars. Using advanced observation techniques, they will someday produce an image of a blue and white planet with liquid water and a breathable atmosphere. It seems inevitable” (p. 273).

In their journal Acta Astronautica Volume 66, Issues 11-12, Tanja Masson-Zwaan, president of the International Institute of Space, and Steven Freeland, professor of international law, “Since the first space object was launched into orbit in 1957, humankind has been engaged in a constant effort to realise ever more ambitious plans for space travel” (p. 1).

Tanja Masson-Zwaan is the president of the International Institute of Space. In his co-authored journal Acta Astronautica Volume 66, Issue 11-12 published by Elsevier Ltd. “Probably the single most important element in this ongoing evolution is the development of technology capable of transporting large numbers of passengers into outer space on a commercial basis” (1). Backing up this idea, but taking a different approach at it, Roger D. Launis, curator of the Division of Space History at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum, Howard E. McCurdy, professor of law “Scientists learned how to beam images back from orbiting observatories and reconnaissance satellites, creating a science of remote sensing that eliminated the need for humans on board” (273).

Roger D. Lanius is the curator of the Division of Space History at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum. In his journal Endeavour Volume 34, Issue 3 “The possibility of life surviving in space gained greater credence in the 1990s, as scientists discovered robust forms of microbial life in ‘extreme’ places on Earth” (1). The precedence to this is recognized in Tanja Masson-Zwaan, president of the International Institute of Space, and professor Steven Freeland’s journal Acta Astronautica Volume 66 11-12 “Since the first space object was launched into orbit in 1957, humankind has been engaged in a constant effort to realise ever more ambitious plans for space travel” (1).
