Space exploration is an essential part of developing technology‚ medicine‚ and many other fields of science. For example‚ space exploration has helped advance technology. When the Apollo spacecraft caught and fire and was destroyed‚ killing all inside‚ clothing and vehicle interiors became more fire-resistant due to that incident. The parachute shrouds used to land the Viking probes on Mars are now being used in tires‚ which are more durable than tires without ehm/ Also‚ space exploration has helped

First of all‚ the efforts put into private
