Explain the "Jupiter Direct" Program, and why it is better than the Aries I/V approach.

Explain in depth how the HIV virus works, how it completely cripples the immune system, despite only attacking only a small minority of the complete immune system, and what approaches we are taking to combat it today.

Explain why the challenger distaster occured, and why the cause is more than just the flawed O-ring. Specifically, the horizontal wind shear, which was clearly missed during the original commission, but was found several years later.

Explain how Euro board games are different from traditional american games, why they are considered superior, and why Games like Agricola & Dominion are the hottest boardgames to hit the market in a decade.

How long of a paper? We can suggest topics all day, but some topics can be explained thoroughly in a paragraph or two, other topics would take 20 pages.

Couple pages. 1500 wordsish

Hadn't heard about that aspect of the accident. Have any more information?

trying to research further myself... but saw the challenger episede of seconds from disaster on NGC... the evidence was pretty clear this was a major contributing factor.

plane on a treadmill would be great to try to explain in a paper, half the people i talk to about it don't understand how it works.

Yes. Research "groupthink", as it is the underlying concept which contributed to the Challenger incident. The Bay of Pigs invasion is another famous example.

Chernobyl is interesting, too. Not groupthink, but an example of terrible policy leading to bastardized thinking which could have easily prevented a catastrophic disaster, which wasn't completely technology based (the safety measures to prevent the meltdown were simply never implemented, as the supervisor on duty felt that would constitute "weakness," and would show that the "Great Soviet Nuclear reactor" was imperfect, thus implying that the Motherland itself was fallible.

Crazy

That's a good segue. Chernobyl has elements of censorship too (i.e. the Soviet state was suppressing potentially harmful information "the safety measures" to further its interests and present itself as infallible). You can see modern-day parallels in the state-run North Korean media.

Author & disaster investigator James Chiles has written a report about how an unusal jetstream in the area of the launch was a major contribuing factor to the O-ring leak.

and no... its not the garbage about the soviets causing it.
