Space exploration has expanded humanity’s understanding of the universe and pushed the limits of technology and science. Starting with the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union, milestones like the first human in space, the Moon landing, and the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope inspired generations. Space exploration continues today with the International Space Station, Mars rovers, and new missions to distant planets and moons. Advances in technology have also opened up possibilities for private space travel and future missions to explore even farther into the cosmos.
