Space Exploration
Mankind’s insatiable curiosity has driven our need to explore space. Space exploration is perhaps the highest goal of civilization.
In recent years both manned and unmanned missions have lead to a spectacular increase in our knowledge about our Solar System and driven many of the rapid advances in the technology we now take for granted. The development of space technologies like the Hubble Space Telescope have only been possible once the ability became available to launch it into orbit.
We are very privileged to be living in the space era. These are exciting times with many new discoveries to come.
