Genre Analysis Three Texts- Space Exploration

1.   The first text I chose is a peer reviewed article by Edythe E. Weeks and is titled Science, technology and imaginable social and behavioral impacts as outer space develops. It is a formal and well put together article that wishes to let people know that space travel is possible with our current technology and is not some far out idea. One of the ideas it advocates is a contagious desire for knowledge and a universal consciousness regarding newly emerging trends. This idea is reminiscent of the scientific approach to space travel in the universe of “Star Trek”.
2.   The second text I chose is a grand picture of the International Space Station, or ISS. The beautiful sphere of the Earth is in the background. This displays a very surreal and majestic view of a presence in space today. The ISS is humanities largest structure in space currently and will most likely be the starting point to any surge into the stars from my understanding.

3.   The third and final text I chose is the NASA website. It is central location for NASA’s history, innovations, discoveries, and future plans. It is very exciting just to look at the website and see pictures of far off stars and stellar formations. Reading it gives me more and more excited about the possibility of space exploration and the beauty of the universe.
