defined by Webster. Since the age of the Greeks‚ Anglo-Saxons have been interested in space exploration. From Copernicus to Gaileo to Newton‚ space has been looked upon with adoring eyes. Space has been regarded time after time as the final frontier. That was until 1957‚ with the launch of the Sputnik-1‚ when the Soviet built satellite became the first man-made satellite successfully launched out into outer space.

brought on the “Space Race.” There’s little clarity on where the race would end‚ but it’s generally regarded that the race was one to land on the moon. Although it was a product of war‚ the space race was a great thing. It pushed both sides to rapidly develop space technology and exploration to new limits at every turn. Every time Russia won a milestone‚ America pushed harder‚ eventually winning the race to land on the moon. Without the space race‚ the world’s ability to explore space would be light

realizes how miniscule a human is when compared to the rest of space. As the world moves more into the future‚ technological advances continue to evolve‚ but still the world has not learned a fraction of what space has to offer.

From the perspective of a sociologist‚ whose job it is include the origins‚ development‚ organization‚ networks‚ and institutions to study social behavior or society‚ funding NASA would be a wise choice because we could have space colonies creating many benefits for society and people. The article “Food‚ Leisure‚ And Social Life In Space Colonies” by Tom Marotta‚ a diplomat and city planner‚ made this position clear by presenting the significance of space exploration in today’s

went to HR Macmillan Space Center in Kitsilano. The sun was out shedding warmth and the clouds were also present cooling off the grounds. It was the perfect weather to spend quality time with my family. My sisters and I were jumpy and we simply could not wait any longer to see the space center. Even my 45 year old mother seemed thrilled that we were going on a space adventure since she is a big fan of science; indeed‚ we were all excited. We arrived at HR Macmillan Space Center around 11 in the
