Russian Spacecraft Fails after Launch by Macey Kanaman 8th Period
Summary: Recently a Russian spacecraft failed to make it to the ISS from Kazakhstan. The spacecraft held expensive supplies for the crew in the ISS. The crew is fine and is not running low on supplies, however many valuables were lost. Much of the debris was burned in the atmosphere, but some fell down to the Earth's surface. Another spacecraft full of supplies will launch December 9th.
Analysis: It's very scary to hear a spacecraft was lost. It just shows how dangerous it still is to go to space. Also, how dependent the ISS is on us. It makes me wonder what the crew in the ISS is developing and if they could find a way to grow food on the ISS. I am synthesizing this to when the colonists first came to the new world and how dependent they were on the old world. Eventually, they learned how to grow and make things on their own.
