Who is Ed Dwight? What obstacles did he face during his career in NASA? How does he change or inspire people today?

English
1 answer:
Snowcat [4.5K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Dwight faced zero obstacles at NASA because he was never there, the story that he was selected as an astronaut and then blackballed is a modern myth without any reality. NASA never picked him,  based on non-racial reasons such as his test pilot class standing, on his expressed attitude that pilot skill wasn't important because he expected  the capsules to be entirely remote controlled from Earth, and on him being several inches too short to see out the window and safely fly the Apollo Lunar Module anyway, it had nothing to do with his skin color.

Explanation: Some stories are created and spread for political reasons, not for accuracy.

How does Calling The hunt for Tutsis a " sports event" convey the tone of the narrative of the narrative
quester [9]
It helps convey the tone by stating that the Hutu's saw the Tutsis as below them, and therefore taking their lives would be equivalent to taking the life of an animal, as many hunters do for sport. Basically, they are comparing the Tutsi people to animals and saying that their lives are less valuable.

Olenka [21]

<u>Answer</u>:

In the beginning of his essay "Science and the Sense of Wonder," Isaac Asimov presents a famous poem by Walt Whitman. In that poem, C: The speaker becomes tired and wanders off alone to look at the stars in silence after listening to the astronomer.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Issac Asimov states that instead of only gazing at something and admiring it, one should try to understand how something works. If we appreciate nature of science, we should also know how it works. Once we understand, it makes it more beautiful.  

The essay "Science and the Sense of wonder" compares Asimov's and Whitman's perspective on science and the sense of wonder. According to Issac, Whitman could not present the beauty of stars properly in his poem ''When I heard the Learn'd Astronomer''.

He only used hypothetical situations and remained ignorant about its beauty in the poem. The narrator couldn't feel connected during the lecture with the facts told about the stars. So, he became bored at the end.
