In the article Why Bother to Explore the Universe‚ David Helfand argues and persuades his readers that through astronomy and space exploration we‚ as humans‚ have continued to be as curious and imaginative as ever. This growing interest for what

The biggest rivalry between the two superpowers was the advancement in space technology. In 1952‚ the International Geophysical Year (IGY) was established in which scientists stated that in the time between July 1‚ 1957 and December 31‚ 1958‚ solar activity would be at a high point. The IGY made it so that both the US and the USSR became determined to be the first to reach space‚ and so the space race was born. During the space race‚ the USSR made many launches that were very advanced and superior

Introduction A space suit is a garment worn to keep a human alive in the harsh environment of outer space‚ vacuum and temperature extremes. Space suits are often worn inside spacecraft as a safety precaution in case of loss of cabin pressure‚ and are necessary for extra-vehicular activity (EVA)‚ work done outside spacecraft. Space suits have been worn for such work in Earth orbit‚ on the surface of theMoon‚ and en route back to Earth from the Moon. Modern space suits augment the basic pressure garment
