I can analyze galaxies and the differences between galaxies. I will compare the Milky Way Galaxy to other types of galaxies.
-Authors note: I tried to focus on the reasons that the main types of galaxies are different but wanted to inform the viewers about each main type of galaxy first.

I can investigate the claim that the landing of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin was a conspiracy created by the United States government. Support or defend the claim.
The landing of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made the United States win in the Space Race. Did these astronauts actually step foot on the moon though? Some say that landing on the moon was just a conspiracy created by the United States but others including Armstrong and Aldrin say that they did land on the moon. If they brought back items would you think it is true? What if it was all fake evidence though?
They did bring back evidence such as pictures and rock samples but they could easily get these things without stepping foot on the moon. So how do we know all this isn't just a huge lie? Although I want to argue and say that the landing on the moon by the Americans was real I cannot fully say that. I think that this topic is arguable either way. To begin, there are theories of how the whole landing was fake and after thinking about it sounds easily possible. With the equipment including telescopes, it would be very easy to take pictures of the landing spots even without getting close to the moon for real. Also, was their technology really good enough back then to land on the moon? Probably not. Along with that, in the picture of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin placing the flag on the moon, the flag is moving like it would on a windy day not like it would on the moon.
But there are also signs to prove that the Americans did land on the moon that day. First of all, you could ask some of the astronauts that are still alive today and then you can tell that they are not lying as they reveal everything about it. Along with that though it may be easy to say that the rocks are from space even if they aren't but the way they were formed is highly unlikely to happen or have happened on earth because they barely had and water in them and they also had some condiments that are not on Earth to easily form them into rocks.
In conclusion this topic could be fought either way. I think that they actually did land on the moon. Although this is a questionable topic I think that they did land on the moon. Would they really be able to pull off that amazing fake landing upon the moon? Did they really have the tools to edit images or to use green screen? No. They did not have this kind of technology back then, but if they didn't have that technology, how do we know they went to the moon?

Authors Note- I was kind of unsure if I thought it was real or not so I put my opinion for both.

I can identify key technological advancements that helped in making our knowledge of space expand. My research will show the past, but I will also predict what future advancements may stretch our limits even more.
Imagine a planet that knows exactly what goes on everywhere. Everywhere from Saturn to Mars to Mercury to Venus to the moon. They know what is going on and what the conditions are like. Not even having to be there they know exactly what is happening at all times. Our knowledge of space is extremely expanded. This may soon be the United States advancements that could stretch our limits even more.
Right now in the United States the key technological advancements that helped making our knowledge of space expand are in a couple different places. First off, NASA as a space program did not only help with advancements in space but they also made the thermometer treatment for brain cancer more accurate than before. Next, they improved fire fighting rescue by making the equipment which evolved out of the space program. Now lets go back to January 31st of 1958. This was the first major advancement made in space. That was the day when the first American satellites were sent. Around three years later on the 5th of May 1961 the first American: Alan Shepard arrived in space. Twenty days after Alan Shepard arrived in space John F. Kennedy made a speech. This speech promised that the Americans would step foot on the moon before the end of the decade. June 3rd, 1965 may be the 2nd most memorable space date. It is the day when the first American walked in space. Around four years later the Americans did even a more phenomenal thing. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin may sound like very familiar names. July 20th, 1969 these brave men became the first people to ever step foot and walked on the moon. After the space race was over there was still another thing that happened. The Americans and Russia, the enemies during the space race, built a space station together. The space race was the greatest time for all the technology that advanced and enhanced what the future may hold in space knowledge.
All these things happened in the past what do you think the future may hold in technological advancements? First of all they say that they are going to use more nuclear fusion. Are they going to use this for bigger and better spacecrafts? Probably. They also are probably going to make more space rovers that have way better picture with better details. There used to be colonies in the United States and now they are working on a mini space colony in orbit. It is going to be called Freedom. Although they are currently working on it, it is possible that they will not finish and they wont ever have this. With the space technology expanding though I think that they will have these things.
Now, we may soon see these things. Our knowledge of space may expand. Our limits will stretch even more, but only if these things happen. We know everything that is going on every minute and second of everyday, every year, every moment. Do you agree with what the future may hold? Will we know even more than we do now. Will we see more than we do now? Will more things happen we didn't think happened? What will happen in space if the future hold these advancements.
Authors note~ I wanted to focus on the space race because that was the main times for technological advancements that happened. Also, I wanted to put facts as well as opinions for what the future may hold.

I can effectively explain the different theories of the universe. I will discuss theories starting from Ancient Greece through the theories discussed in present day. I will analyze all theories and make a judgment based on my research on which is most valid.
There are many theories about how the universe was first started starting way back in ancient Greece as one of their famous stories on how it all began.
It all started with Chaos. The Goddess of all things has a child. The child is named Eros and he is the God of love. He was just born out of chaos and so were three other children. Uranus, who was the "embodiment of the sky and the heavens" was the one after Eros. Next, Gaia who was the Earth was born. Lastly, Tartarius was born and he was the God of the place below Gaia.
After they were born from the chaos two of the children; Gaia and Uranus had children as well. The biggest childs name was Cronus. Cronus was told that one day his son would overpower him. Cronus did not want this to happen so he ate all of his children, well so he thought. Gaia got angry about Cronus eating his children so she took the youngest son named Zeus and hid him so he would not get eaten.
Zeus grew older and got stronger and wiser as well as he returned back home. Zeus grew into conflct with Cronus. In order to take down Cronus Zeus needed his siblings. Gaia gave Cronus a pill that made him throw up Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon his children that he had eaten. After they beat their father in battle the children all took over places of the world. Zeus became the God of the sky along with everything it included such as lightening and clouds. Hestia became the Goddess of the hearth, Demeter was the Goddess of fertility, Hera became the Goddess of marriage and child birth after she was a jealous wife herself. Hades was now the God of the underworld and Poseidon was the God of the sea.
Zeus was greedy and did not listen to the mortals orders but instead made his life perfect ignoring their complaints. After they got sick of being treated this way, Zeus and the giants went into war. Prometheus stole some sparks out of a fire so that the mortals could have some of these things to make living better too. Zeus got angry that they did not respect his power so he chained Prometheus to a mountain and had an eagle attack him every day. To make it even more cruel punishment they made a perfect girl but she opened the box she was told not to open and turned imperfect or a normal human being. After that she heard something else in the box the "hope" that she did not earlier notice and that came out of the box into the air and somehow the Universe was created as believed by the Greeks.
Big Bang Theory-
The big bang theory is one of the more popular theories although it seems completely unbelievable. All the big bang theory is, is that the universe started just as a small, very hot ball. It suddenly expand with a big bang and that is why it is called the big bang theory. Some believers of this theory also think that with the universe expanding so quickly it continues to expand.
God Created The Universe-
This Theory states that God created the universe because there is no other explanation that any human can think of that is actually backed up but this theory is. We cannot prove with our five senses how the universe was formed, we cannot prove that God exists either. I am sure you have questioned these things before but if you come to believe in God and read the bible it is only natural that this theory is true.
My opinion-
I believe that the only way to explain the universe just suddenly being here would only have one solution so I believe that God created the universe. The big bang and ancient Greek theories just sound completely unreasonable as it does to some people that God created all of this but I believe that that is how the universe was formed.
Authors note~ I did three different theories and my opinion. You don't have to agree that is just the only one that seemed legitimate to me.
