"ne of mankind's great dreams is the discovery of other planetary systems and the ability to travel to them, and a first step in fulfilling this dream is the unmanned probe represented by the Voyager Interstellar Mission. This is a difficult mission by any measure. Voyager I was launched September 5, 1977, and after it has been speeding along for more than 20 years, it is now 6.8 billion miles away from Earth traveling at nearly 51,000 miles per hour. In cosmic terms, that is only about 10 light hours away. However, the closest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri, which is 4.3 light years, or 25 trillion miles, away. If Voyager were pointed in the right direction, it is calculated that it would take some 74,000 years to make the trip. However, effective interstellar missions must occur on a human time scale preferably within an individual's lifetime..."

Religious and Economic Missions, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that both Shuzaku Endo's novel "Silence" and Rolfe Joffe's film "The Mission" suggest that European trade and religion, which had seriously conflicting objectives, came into contact with the peoples of Japan and the Americas respectively. The author points out that these forces, including those of the Catholic Church, were disruptive and invasive; however, in the film "The Mission", the Catholic Church was shown as bringing about some tangible benefits in terms of shelter and safety to the indigenous peoples they sought to convert. The paper relates that, on the other hand, in "Silence", the Portuguese missionaries and those who had come before them, seriously misunderstood the inherent reasons for the non-acceptance of Christianity by the Japanese.
From the Paper
"This is a far different sort of opening than Roland Joffe's film "The Mission", in which we see, first-hand, the enormous initial fear in the Colombian Indians' eyes when the first of the Jesuits arrives, but then, subsequently, how the Indians come to trust and even love the Jesuits. In this region, the Jesuits eventually come to represent a benevolent force against the Portuguese and Spanish tradesmen who would hunt and capture the Indians, and sell them for slaves. "The Mission" explicitly contrasts the conflicting interests of the Jesuits and the other European groups of tradesmen who come to the area, and shows how the Jesuits sought to convert, but also to protect the lives of the Indians of Colombia, while the tradesmen who hunted them sought only to exploit them for profit."

Abstract
This paper examines how Baptists are still at the forefront of missions work and how faith missions, small missionary outposts without affiliation to a larger missions group, are often staffed by Baptist missionaries. These faith missions have an enduring quality and steady growth. They also are among the first to employ creative new ways of spreading the Gospel. It looks at how the history of Baptist missions is littered with the names of brave men and women following the call of God into areas of the world far from home, devoid of all creature comforts.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"After forming the Baptist Missionary Society, Carey and his family became foreign missionaries themselves. They set sail for India on June 13, 1793. When he and his family arrived, they found a rather hostile reception from the country that was controlled by the East India Company. The East India Company did not look kindly on missionaries. After seven years of faithful service, Carey baptized his first Hindu convert, Krishna Pal. William Carey dealt with all sorts of hurdles, one of the largest being his wife. Initially she was opposed to the idea of even going to India. At the last moment, she changed her mind. Never fond of the mission field to begin with, she went insane when her five-year-old son died. She raved like a lunatic during her last years on earth, complicating her husband's job immensely. Mrs. Carey, in her state of delusion, was convinced that her husband was cheating on her and would tell anyone who would listen. "

Outline:
Introduction
The World Situation before the Birth of the Mission
Starting Point for the Mission and Early Missionary Activities
Early Christian Persecutions
From the Paper
"The Church came into existence in the world with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. "When the fullness of time was come", St. Paul writes, "God sent his Son, born of a woman, that he might redeem them who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of the sons" (Gal. 4: 4-6). Thus early Christian mission involved in the person of Jesus. The early Christian community owed to the disciples; Easter experience, the experience of the risen Lord, for its mission. If we observe carefully, we can understand that Easter is the point of connection between ministry of Jesus and the mission of his followers. We should not forget that Church and mission were synonyms. The early community lived through mission and for mission. Every early Christian promoted the cause of mission either by word or by the example. The chief agents of the spread of the Christian faith were not professional missionaries who made it a living, but men and women involved in ordinary life."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In this chapter I would like to give some idea and concept of mission as understood by Christians. The Christian mission is rooted in the Holy Scriptures. They and only they alone are able to make man 'wise and able to instruct you for salvation" (2 Tim 3:15). From them Christians derive their message, their mandate, their motivation, and their methodology. Apart from the word of God the missionary movement has neither meaning nor sanction. According to the 'new theology' man is not eternally lost, because God is a loving Father. His all conquering love and his irresistible grace will finally win the last day, and till men will be saved. Indeed, they are already saved by the virtue of Jesus' death on the cross. The task of Today's missionary, then is simply to inform the non-Christians that, without their knowledge or consent, all men are 'in Christ', and as such are part of the new humanity of which he is the head."

From the Paper
"The Catholic Church has to be like a mother to all religious traditions and cultures, kind and hospitable to all and hostile to none. The Church has to be hospitable to all and hostile to none in order to establish the kingdom of God and make this world into God's household of love. In the beginning I had a deep desire to know about the mission of the Church which is carried out in the cultural context of our country. The desire to know about my religious life in my own cultural context has created in me an immense joy. It is because of my unforgettable experiences with my Hindu friends who continuously encourage me to become a good priest from the moment I joined in the seminary. I have also experienced their love and hospitality towards my family and my village though we are different in religion, language and culture. I have also seen in them a thirst for the divine when they come and pray in the Church in my village. This experience made me to strengthen my faith and witness that the grace of God is present in all religions and cultures in an unknown way inspiring them to long for the divine."

From the Paper
"This paper is concerned with the relationship between the Christian mission to Judea, Samaria, and other communities (Acts 8:1-12:23); and the mission of Paul "to the ends of the earth" (Acts 12:24-28:31).
The basic purpose of The Acts of the Apostles is to describe how the early Christian Church leaders went on to preach, assert, and proclaim the salvation Jesus Christ had given to the world. In order to spread the good news, it was essential for the apostles to perform missionary work. Certain Christian concepts and theological issues were in need of resolution; and the early Christian movement was slowly on its way to become a world-wide religion.
Although the first Christian believers were tolerated for the Most Dart by the Roman establishment, this would not be true ... "

From the Paper
"The cemetery has never been desecrated but has had regional periodical re-internment and moving of bodies for various city projects. The rich history of some of those interred is of course limited to the white, as this was what was of interest to the people in the 19th century, when many of the local interest stories about the cemetery became popular. Famous governors of California and renegades of the region are buried there in addition to the Native burials and the friars of the Franciscan order who toiled and died there."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Apollo 7 and Apollo 8 space missions and their overall effect on the United States' space race. It looks at the history behind the space race and climate in the United States at the time that the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) was first developing these missions. The paper concludes that these missions helped to revive American interest and motivate the public's support for NASA, as well as helped America to take a definite lead in the space race against the Soviets.
From the Paper
"Remembering the Apollo 8 mission, William Anders stated, "The biggest surprise of the mission was to see the first Earthrise over the moon and to realize that the Earth was even more interesting than the moon. I consider the moon voyages a technical feat, a political feat." Apollo 8 was indeed both of these. The Apollo 7 and 8 missions were vital ingredients in the overall victory for America in the space race. They helped to revive American interest and motivate the public's support for NASA. They also helped America to take a definite lead in the space race against the Soviets and use this momentum to continue to the moon. Lastly, they helped to prove that the moon was a feasible goal, and that Kennedy's idea of putting a man on the moon before the decade was out was more than possible."

Well, the message does not change but the methodology might change based on the circumstance."

Abstract
Intelligent systems are becoming increasingly important in deep space missions, especially missions to Mars. This paper covers three intelligent technologies: (1) The intelligent space ship 'Deep Space One' and its autonomous navigation system; (2) The Mars global surveyor and the deep space terminal and (3) The 'Sojourner' and Rocky 7 and 8 rovers.
The paper includes illustrations.
From the Paper
"Deep Space One marked the first mission of NASA's New Millennium Program which is aimed at testing highly advanced technologies for low-cost planetary missions [3]. The key component being tested by the mission was its AutoNav system. AutoNav is made up of three main tools: the Nav Main (simply Nav), the Nav Executive (NavExec) and the Nav Real-Time (NavRT). Nav and NavRT have architectures very similar to those of expert systems where decisions are based on algorithms built on sets of well defined rules. As well its decisions are supported by information gathered autonomously. In that respect it is very similar to the path planning software used in planetary rovers, which will be discussed later."

The Mission Statement, 2004.
An analysis of the place of an organization's mission statement in the strategic management process.
1,800 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 57.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes the arguments posed by scholars Joseph Porac, Jose Antonio Rosa, and John Argenti in order to understand the best place for the mission statement in the strategic management process. The paper claims that an organization's mission statement is assumed to mean an explanation of the way forward. It explains the intention of the organization, recognizes how an organization describes success, summarizes the approach that will be followed to accomplish triumph, and includes the collective standards and activities that the organization requires from workers. All this cannot be integrated in the mission statement by disregarding the process of assessing the strengths and weaknesses of both the organization and the market. The probability for failure and loss is extremely high when the assessment of the internal and external dynamics is ignored before formulating the mission statement.
From the Paper
"To name a few of the business scholars who believe that the place of the mission statement is right at the top are Joseph Porac and Jose Antonio Rosa, business scholars at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, as well as, John Argenti, a well known author. These scholars believe that the ability of these obsessive leaders to execute a business strategy with persistence and determination is more important to be successful than adapting to the changing market conditions. According to these scholars, the blame for failure in the business world rests entirely upon the shoulder on the weak and variable executive body of the organization. They believe that the corporate leaders of today tend to limit their analysis considerably, and as a result, are unable to determine the emerging market conditions (Unknown, 1997)."

American Corporate Mission Statements, 2005.
A comparison and analysis of six American corporate mission statements.
1,346 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper begins with a discussion of how important mission statements are to an organization and how they benefit a company and contribute to its success. Next, the paper explains how mission statements can differ from organization to organization and then presents an analysis of the mission statements of six different organizations in order to illustrate how their statements differ.
From the Paper
"A corporate mission is that common objective amongst colleagues that helps to create a focus on results for the organization. It is essential that this mission is communicated between all members of the company, from the top executive officer to the nightly janitor. When people become empowered with being a part of the path to success, their own personal contribution often increases in order to become recognized. As a result, the company as a whole benefits and becomes just that much closer to overall success in the mission."
