Opening Paragraphs

The three topics I considered were NASA’s Ares and Orion project, the progression and development of the nuclear super-carrier, and a sports team of my choice to follow, which would be the Pittsburg Penguins of the NHL.
The research on the Penguins was easy and VERY un-challenging. The information was good and readily available, overall a very easy topic to cover, and probably a good choice considering the NHL season ends in mid April, which is when this project will end.
The next topic I was considering was the progression and development of the nuclear super-carrier. This is a very intriguing topic for me, especially with my interest in the navy and particularly flying. I found countless websites that could tell me the whereabouts of the nine super-carriers in existence, but not one could break down the anatomy of an aircraft carrier, which is what I was looking for.
The final topic on which I was interested in researching, was the Ares and Orion project that is run by NASA. The Ares part of the project is the propulsion system for an upcoming voyage to the moon and maybe Mars. Orion is the capsule in which is the name for the capsule which will house the crew during their (in the case of the mars journey) six year trip. I chose this topic because I have a profound interest in the space program and the timeline for the Ares test flight is at the end of this project in mid April. Though the actual mission won’t occur until 2014, the test flight is tentatively scheduled for April 1st. The information on this topic is not easily found on databases, so I was forced to move off the databases and go straight to another secondary source; the NASA website. Here I found an abundance of information on the Ares Project and test flight, contrary to what I found on the databases. There was an article in MARVEL that stated that the Ares rocket looked a lot like a space shuttle, and the only difference was the inside structure. Well, according to the NASA, the Ares rocket looks nothing like a space shuttle, in fact, it looks more like the Saturn V rocket that went to the moon. At this point I found the information in the databases to be lacking and decided to go to a more current source.
