Since the launch of the first successful Russian satellite, Sputnik 1. We continue to think about what our universe contains and what life may be sharing it with us if any. We've built craft designed to land on our own planets moon, shuttles to conduct experiments in space to test zero gravity while in low-Earth orbit. But the National Aerospace and Space Association (NASA) has also sent the first probes and rovers to different planets, a telescope satellite into deep space to start the first expedition to mapping the cosmos for the first time in history. We have proven theories with the voyager probes by which collect data in deep space and will continue through space long after the human race has come and gone. Before maybe another intelligent life-form discovers it and unlocks the knowledge of what …show more content…
Soon after the decommissioning of the space shuttle fleet, the three remaining shuttles including the prototype shuttle “Enterprise”, were all put in museums or in bone yards. (Newton) Now that an era of space travel has ended and others from the past are approaching their mission end-date, we are starting to think of new ways to make spacecraft and make new plans to go further beyond than any other human before. Congress has been cutting the amount of spending that NASA can use to perform exploration duties but talk of privatising space travel. Though to many, it seems like a good idea, but to many other public opinion, it would be more efficient for both to reconcile together and perform duties together as Jet Propulsion Laboratories (JPL) and North American Aviation have been doing for quite some time.

The owner has planned on taking the airline industry to space where everyone can experience the zero gravity of
