Space Shuttle Launch

First Space Shuttle Launch April 12, 1981 Lesson Plans for Teachers

The Columbia Space Shuttle was the first space shuttle. It was launched on April 12, 1981 and it returned on April 14 after orbiting the Earth 36 times.

Imagine that NASA has selected you for the next space mission that will last over 6 months. You are allowed to bring 5 personal items with you (food and clothing will be provided by NASA). Which items would you choose and why?

If I was asked to bring 5 items I would choose a blanket, a pillow, the longest book I have, a pen, and the biggest notebook I have. I would bring a blanket in case I get cold. I would bring a pillow to go to sleep on. I would bring a book to keep up my reading and to read when I get bored. I would bring a pen to draw and write in the notebook and the reason I brought a pen is because a pencil can run out of lead or break. Finally, I brought a notebook to draw in and write in when I get bored or just for fun. When i'm in space I could keep a diary of what it's like. If I actaully did get a chance to go into space I probally wouldn't take it.

If I was asked to bring five items this is what I would bring. A pillow(I don't think the space shuttle would be very comfy). I would also bring a GIANT book incase I get bored. I would bring a note book and a pen so I could write about everything that happened. Then I sould bring another book because I love reading and would need more than one book.

If I was asked to bring five items I would bring a blanket just in case its cold. I would also bring a camera to take pictures of all the stars and planets and a note book so that I can take notes of what I see. I would also bring a pen so I can write with. The last thing I would bring is a ipad because I can watch movies and play games on it. These are the five things i would bring on a space mission that lasts six months.

If I had to bring: a sleeping bag, a pillow, a camera, a star tracker, and a cell phone. The sleeping bag for extra warmth because if I brought a blanket, it would float away. I would bring the pillow because in the beds of the spaceship there are no pillows. A camera because it would be cool to take pictures in front of stars and planets and stuff. The star tracker for identifying star constellations like the big and little dippers. Finally, I would bring the cell phone for calling my family. Some people think that is not right but you are closer to the satellites. That is the five items I would bring.

I would bring my computer because if we were testing anything I would be able to record the data and results on my computer. I would also bring a set of books about space that I could read when we are studying the different effects of space on a person. I would bring a map of all of the explored areas in space so that I would know where everything is. I would bring a large set of weights so that while I was in space, all of my muscles would stay strong. I would also bring along many flash drives so that I could put all of the data I collect on them. I would bring multiple so that if something happened to one of them, I would have a back-up. If I were to go on a space mission, these would probably be my top five things to bring along.

If I could bring 5 items to space with me, I would bring:
1)An Ipad(with a charger that has batteries(no plugs in shuttle)
2)earphones
3)favorite pillow case(there are pillows on the spaceship)
4)magnetic chessboard(so the pieces wouldn't float)
5)book-O-mania(a LOT of good books to read
I would use the Ipad for entertainment.The earphones so i wouldn't disturb anyone.The pillowcase because I don't like other pillows.The chess board if i got bored of the Ipad.And finally, the books if i got bored of everything else.

If I could only take 5 items, I would take the following: a big heater, computer, camera, giant workbook,and my DSi. I would take the heater just in case it starts to freeze. I would bring my Surface to keep in touch with friends, family and to keep notes about my experience in space. Since I like to take pictures, it would be great to have my camera with me. To keep me busy I would use my workboook. And to have fun I would use my DSi. Those are the five items I would take with me.

If I could bring five items to space, I would bring a sleeping bag , a camera, the whole Harry Potters series, a notebook, and a Moon pen.

I would bring a sleeping bag to sleep in and to be warm and comfie. I would bring a camera so I can take pictures during the trip. The Harry Potter series would be busy when I was bored during the trip. I would bring a notebook, so I can record my journey and the "Moon pen" because it works in Space in any direction and even when there is no gravity.
