Space Exploration Since earliest times, it has been human nature to explore our surroundings. Humans have been venturing out into space for many years now. Space is unlimitless, and offers endless possibilities for exploring. The idea of exploring space has a sense of mystery and excitement about it. Space exploration has played an immense part in American history. In addition to satellites and retrieving data, men and women astronauts have also had the opportunity to travel into space and collect
The space programmes of both the USA and the USSR became perhaps the most important prestige projects of the Cold War. From the launch of Sputnik - the first artificial satellite - in 1957, through to the first human space flight by Yuri Gagarin in 1961, the first moon landing in 1969, and beyond, both superpowers invested huge amounts of money in order to outdo each other in the so-called ‘space race’. At the time, this was a convenient project to choose: while it allowed the two nations to compete
see it, I like to describe space as a glorious world with no boundaries waiting to be discovered by humans. During the scientific revolution, people became aware of our solar system and were questioning whether if we are placed in the center of the universe or not. Many of the greatest scientists of this era such as Galileo, argued that the sun was in the middle of the universe and Earth revolves around the sun. It was during this era that people were fascinated by space for its vast layout of discoveries
The Big Bang Theory is the leading exploration on how the world was created and how it is expanding. The big bang theory is just one of the theories of how the universe was created,most and is the most popular out all of them . One of the other believes is that god created everything and nothing else could have made it . The idea of the big bang theory was made in the early 1920 by a guy named Georges Lemaitre . When he thought that the universe was made by a single primordial atom . Edwin Hubble
“Space, the final frontier….” These are the words that stirred the imaginations of millions of men, women and children with the debut of “Star Trek” in 1966. The show has arguably one of the most loyal followings of any production, and has inspired scores of people to consider the stars and wonder if we as a people will ever travel outside of our own solar system. The idea of space travel and exploration was not new when “Star Trek” hit the airwaves though. The United States was at odds with the
The exploration and exploitation of space is one of the hottest field in science and technology. Kenneth L. Atkins states that “Space, the solar system, and its relationship and usefulness captured human curiosity from the very day we stood on two legs and thought about more than our next meal.” （Jones, Steven M 351-357）While some others claims that deep space exploration do more harm than good to humans. This essay will discuss the opportunities and challenges on the issue of deep space exploration
up all everyday matter, and till the beginning of the 20th century many people thought they were the smallest building blocks of life. It was then discovered that they too have even smaller parts called subatomic particles. In short, these particles often have interesting characteristics that keep the universe running. Understanding these subatomic particles is crucial towards grasping the idea that all matter is related in spectacular ways. Without these particles we wouldn’t know about the most
or show on TV about space and thought, “That is foolish”? The human imagination of space exploration is intriguing. Some may use that silly cartoon as inspiration and pursue a career involving space. Once the imagination is put into action, many beneficial products and technologies can and have come into existence that will and have change how we live and see space. To some, space exploration is inconsequential as if it will lead nowhere in life. However, space exploration is beneficial for its
Humans considered by some the most confusing race of the universe and by many a dangerous one. By an odd twist of fate the star that created their system appeared earlier in the history of the galaxy then it should have and humans appeared faster. The changes this will affect the galaxy and change the fate of the entire region of the universe. 2025 AD Humanity’s interest in space is rekindled and they start sending new exploration missions to the moon. 2069 AD The first human permanent settlement
Satellites were a very important part of the Space Race and are still very important today. There are different functions for each satellite. Some are for television networks while others can save lives and predict the weather. Satellites are used every day to help with navigation and positioning systems. Over two thousand five hundred satellites have been sent into space and around one thousand are still operational. NASA, during the Space Race, was responsible for creating complex software
