Publisher's Synopsis
Space exploration has come a long way since the days of the Space Race. In just the last 60 years, we have advanced from the first satellite in space (Sputnik) to realistic conversations about bringing human life to Mars. The very idea of space exploration is the culmination of humanity's innate desire to understand the world around us - to make sense of things that are intangible. Space exploration allows us to feed that desire and simultaneously discover ways to make the world a better place, so we can, hopefully, leave it better than we found it. Space exploration isn't just about the interstellar universe. It's about you and me; it's about the younger generation; it's about everyone on Earth right now and everyone who has yet to be born. Come with author Mohammad Bahareth as he explores...space exploration.
