ALL ABOUT SOUTH CAROLINA
By Rayson Funderburk
Today I will be talking about South Carolina. It is a well rounded state I like to think but I might be a little biased because I live here but we can just forget about that. So here are some things you should know about South Carolina.
South Carolina is located in the southern part of America. The states surrounding SC are Georgia, and North Carolina. SC also borders the Atlantic ocean. Oh and if you don’t know it is to the east of america but I bet you already did but I told you anyway.
South Carolina has a normally warmer climate. But sometimes it can get a little chilly up in the mountains. So if you get cold take you about a 3 hour drive east and you will be on the warm Carolina coast.
South Carolina has a very diverse terrain. We have the rolling sandhills. The marshy swamps. The sometimes snowy mountains. Lastly, the sunny beaches. That's what I like about SC. If you don’t like the weather just drive an hour or two and you find the weather you want.
I hope you found out something new about South Carolina. I also think that you should come visit SC if you've never been. So this is my information on the awesome state of South Carolina
Nasa Langley Research Center
By Jeffrey Buice
Nasa Langley Research Center is a research facility located in Hampton, VA where NASA does all kinds of studies and research for aircraft flight/ aviation and also for space missions.
One of the things NASA does at Langley is make changes and improvements as well as new breakthroughs in aviation technology. They test multiple prototypes in their wind tunnel to make sure that when the final model of the plane, or any other thing that flies really, comes out perfect with no flaws or malfunctions with the aerodynamics or anything that could endanger the people who are using it.
Another thing that NASA does over at Langley Research Center is monitor our atmosphere. They use LIDAR technology on satellites to learn more about our atmosphere and what is in it. The scientists at Langley are taking the data from the LIDAR satellites and turning it into solutions for maintaining, or if possible, rebuilding our atmosphere for future generations to come.
One final thing that goes on at Langley is developing technology for space exploration. Even though this isn't the primary goal of Langley Research Center, they take it very seriously. Scientists at Langley often do experiments with different types and models of spacecraft to find the one that will get our astronauts into space and back home safely. Now that’s a big responsibility,
In conclusion, NASA Langley Research Center is used for a variety of things and purposes. Langley is one of the most crucial research centers in America. Hope you enjoyed my article!
