Exploring outer space
Star gazing and curiosity about the space were from the very ancient times of human history,it wasn't new at all.In October 4,1957,the USSR (Soviet Union) successfully launched Sputnik I,a space satellite into the Earth's orbit but the first manned spaceflight was not until 1961,when again,the USSR launched their first space craft with cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.
Ever since then the space race between the USA and the USSR were nonstop,which has cost both countries a great deal.After the breaking up of the USSR,The space race has become Russia against the USA,but then the late comer China also has joined in the fun.
As the matter of fact the space exploration over the years has not advanced a lot.It has been confined to the inner and near space due to the limitness of the space travel technology.Mainly and the most useful thing that had been gained from all these were sending satilites into Earth's orbits for communications use and other purposes.Ever since the first satellite Sputnik I had been sent to the space,now our Earth's orbit is trashed by countless of all kinds of satellites,apart from communications satellites,there are weather satellites,Earth Science satellites,military satellites and others.These kind of space satellites apart from military use ones were mostly funded by private enterprises for commercial uses.
The outer space explorations have been dominated by both USSR and the USA for a long time,and the first country successfully with human landed on the moon was the USA.Americans Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin,stepped out from the landing craft of Apollo 11 onto the Moon on July 20,1969.But after that there were no more further progress.until now,no man has ever went pass the moon into further outer space.Also after the retirement of the USA's space shuttle in 2011,there are now only China and the Russians have the human spaceflight capabilities.
The outlook for the space explorations will now be mainly focused on private space programs though it seems rather flourishing.People were talking about civilians space travel for quite some time.For those people who can afford to pay half of a million dallors or more for a ticket,they will soon be able to have a spaceship ride into the space and back.But the thing is,apart from having enough money to pay for the journey,you must have a good health too and willing to go through an intensive astronault's training before you are allowed to step into the spaceship!
