The scientific curiosity innately in humans since their origins had been the central motor of evolution, from this powerful capacity of doubt had born science, and science made us the settlers of the universe. The space exploration is por lo tanto essential for not get jam on the same place, like will never happens, because is in us love to know always more about the universe.
Since the reasoning awakens,man study stars, and goes in that direction. All the magic of the stars derived in our myths and legends. Our evolution is since the very beginning the desperate tried of a man for find his gods, and it take us farther than any kind of life by then.
By century XVII humanity passed from first steps to run in star´s direction. Discoveries like the law of universal gravity by Newton, the operation and structure of Solar System by Kepler and the revelations of amazing pioneers shattered before by dogmatic and medieval ideas that for years had stay hide to science now grown from the floor in the grand renaissance of the species, after a dark age defeated by the necessity of man to explorate.
And was Robert Goddard who chose touch the sky at 1926, with the creation of the first rocket driven by combustible. Although not with the best intentions, Germany made big advances from that idea. Soon rockets would use to put on orbit the marks of our evolution, and later to take us closer the stars.
October 4th of 1957 started one of the most clear proof of our constant evolution at the beginning of one of the most interesting army rushes of history; the spacial rush.The then Soviet Union throw from Kazakhstan the first satellite. And would be Sputnik 1 the first huge step out of the atmosphere. That beautiful line between be an earthling species and be the Settlers of the Universe.
US didn´t stay back at all, At July 16th of 1969 the Apollo XI was blasted off and by 20th day of the same month Neil Armstrong is getting in the first man in the moon. A little step marked in this fantastic day of universal friendship that will rule the values of tomorrow, the aggressive space rush between two nations evolutioning to the biggest international project in history. It is a global dream, poets and scientist look at the sky and feel in their bones the stardust that wants to come back home. Overcoming day by day their biggest faults humanity will still come farther and farther, and will come the day in the future, everything depends of us. The brightest day will arrive, the day when the human being will be touch every single place in the universe.
Today science and technology used for space exploration is fantastic, we achieve put a space station that is always moving up there, and we made real so many things down here. The instantaneous food for microwave oven,the technology in wireless devices and the most recently innovations in medicine are products that we got thanks to NASA and other institutions that work in direction of space exploration.
Recently success like the arriving of Rosetta on a comet and the pictures of Pluto demonstrate the argument, day by day we are making history. We overcome more and more borders and we go every time farther, some predictions or pronostics for the future that myself believe so posibles are:
the expansion of international space rush to the rest of the nations on the planet. With the blast of the LISA Pathfinder Europe is incorporated in this mundi project of space exploration with the objective of comprobate Albert Einstein’s theories.
Men will arrive Mars and come back the moon, both future human colonies that will extend our world, civil people will start to go out there and populate other worlds. With the historical changes that this will meant for all humanity the mentality in general will put in a direction much more rational and without medieval convictions, Next generation will be who takes the universe. And this is in my opinion all that means space exploration, Science of Day & Age.
