From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Space exploration is the use of astronomy and space technology to explore outer space. Physical exploration of space is conducted both by human spaceflights and by robotic spacecraft. While the observation of objects in space, known as astronomy, predates reliable recorded history, it was the development of large liquid-fueled rocket engines during the early 20th century that allowed physical space exploration to become a reality. Common rationales for exploring space include advancing scientific research, uniting different nations, ensuring the future survival of humanity and developing military and strategic advantages against other countries. Various criticisms of space exploration are sometimes made. Space exploration has often been used as a proxy competition for geopolitical rivalries such as the Cold War. The early era of space exploration was driven by a "Space Race" between the Soviet Union and the United States; the launch of the first man-made object to orbit the Earth, the USSR's Sputnik 1, on October 4, 1957, and the first Moon landing by the American Apollo 11 craft on July 20, 1969 are often taken as the boundaries for this initial period. The Soviet space program achieved many of the first milestones, including the first living being in orbit in 1957, the first human spaceflight (Yuri Gagarin aboard Vostok 1) in 1961, the first spacewalk (by Aleksei Leonov) in 1965, the first automatic landing on another celestial body in 1966, and the launch of the first space station (Salyut 1) in 1971. After the first 20 years of exploration, focus shifted from one-off flights to renewable hardware, such as the Space Shuttle program, and from competition to cooperation as with the International Space Station. From the 1990s onwards, private interests began promoting space tourism and then private space exploration of the Moon (see GLXP). In the 2000s, China initiated a successful manned spaceflight program, while the European Union, Japan, and India have also planned future manned space missions. The United States has committed to return to the Moon by 2018 and later Mars. China, Russia, Japan, and India have advocated manned missions to the Moon during the 21st century, while the European Union has advocated manned missions to both the Moon and Mars during the 21st century.

If you can, join any related groups/clubs to show that you have an active interest in space exploration. In addition, I would suggest you mention in your cover letter your strong interest in the subject, and then list some recent, relevant news in the industry. It'd be great if you can link that news to something groundbreaking in space exploration, regardless of whether or not it's recent, to show that you not only follow up on recent events, but you also know your history on the topic. Summarize your experience, knowledge, and credentials into your resume and cover letter in an interesting manner and that should captivate the hiring contact enough to call you in for an interview. From there, show off your professionalism and… [cont.] Answered by Y - Sun Jun 6 18:42:11 2010 What do you think is next for space exploration? Q. what's next for space exploration, I mean in a few years we'll be able to go on a trip to see outer space as some sort of amusment ride (eventhough it takes thousands of dollars for one to go on that ride.) I've been wondering, if we'll sometime in the near future, be doing things like you see in movies, you know having space colonies, or even on other planets. Do you think we'll be able to do such things in our lifetime? Asked by Animal Seeking Kindness - Tue Apr 7 22:35:18 2009 - - 21 Answers - 0 Comments A. I hope contact with aliens.

Q. I'm just curious to see how many people are aware of how space exploration inpacts our lives. Some people think it's a waste of money, but lets take away some of these items and see how they feel.
