September 14, 2015; the day satellites observed gravitational waves coming from a binary black hole merger. This type of outer space phenomenon was observed for the first time in Earth’s history. This is just one reason out of many, as to why I am obsessed with space. There is so much that we do not know about the world that lies outside of our own. For this exact reason, I began my pursuit of knowledge. Questions filled my mind; what kind of research efforts are taking place now? How has our understanding of space changed over the years? Perhaps the best question to begin my research was the question at what rate are we making discoveries?
Powering through countless articles to make sure I had the facts straight, I found an author who encompassed everything I had found and wrapped it up concisely. He stated that our current efforts and understanding of space only touch the tip of the iceberg. However, the international community is doing very little to continue future space exploration, and this, “lack of …show more content…
