Vision for Space Exploration

Try not to float away! Space is pretty big, 435,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 KM or 46 billion light years away to be exact. Who knows what is out there. It also has zero gravity so you probably would not be stable at all. Who knows what can happen. Why does this matter? Because space should not privatized.

Only fifty years ago, exploring space would be a daunting task. These days, humanity is much more experienced in this endeavor with the multiple successful missions doing so. Space exploration is the traveling through the unknowns of space and the research of extraterrestrial bodies using spacecrafts. This includes sending both man and unmanned spacecrafts meant to observe and travel to planets and asteroids. Currently, we live at the dawn of a new space age powered by technological advancements…

Space Exploration Humans always had a nature of curiosity. That’s what drove Ferdinand Magellan and Juan Sebastián Elcano to circumnavigate the globe. They discovered new lands and crossed new oceans. If they weren’t allowed to go on the voyage, then our history would be too recent.
