Yet, we still face many more complications. There are people who suggest that we stop exploring space and concentrate on Earth’s problems. However, there are critical reasons to continue space exploration, such as, inspiring students and scientists to advance scientific knowledge, improving our economy, and satisfy human need to be curious and explore. These reason […]
Launching the country’s first experimental space station, and building the ‘Beidou’ navigation system, China’s ambitious space program has made great progress in recent years. Surrounded by great triumphs, many Chinese people seem to have developed an illusion that their country is going to take the lead in space exploration. However, as the leader in space […]

The pinnacle point of space exploration was the so-called space race from (1955-1972), between the United States and the Soviet Union. The U.S and the U.S.S.R were in competition to determine who will be the first man to land on the moon. The race required an immensely high budget for NASA, which created fast improvement […]
Advanced space exploration with the actual launching of space shuttles, satellites, animals, and people beyond Earth’s atmosphere into outer space began when the United States and the Soviet Union competed in the Space Race following World War II. This competition between the two rival countries was instituted as a fight for power by seeing who […]
NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is the U.S. government sector which is responsible for leading the nation’s explorations of space. It commences during the Cold War, the era that was driven by ‘Space Race’ between the Soviet Union and the United States. Yuri Gagarin (Vostok 1), the first man to travel outer space […]
Surmounting the challenges of working in space has led to many technological and scientific advances that have provided benefits to society on Earth in areas including health, conveyance, public safety, consumer goods, energy and environment, information technology, and industrial productivity. Exploring space will also bring together the communities in hope to collaborate and achieve more […]
When individuals think of space exploration, they think of the stars of the show such as Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon; or perhaps John Glenn, the first American to orbit the earth.
