Throughout history, people have tried to understand Earth's place
in the universe and what else, if anything, is 'out there'. This
common human curiosity has led to great discoveries, from
astrologers in ancient Babylon and Egypt who sought to link the
strange planetary paths through the night sky to human behavior, to
the 17th century when Galileo turned his first telescope on the
night sky, to the 21st century when robotic explorers landed on
Mars. ""Exploring Space, Revised Edition"" offers extensive
coverage of human explorations into space - from 19th-century
fantasy to 20th-century achievement and the future of space
exploration in the 21st century - giving up-to-date information
about the current state of exploration in the final frontier.
Coverage of this title includes: native American astronomy; the
U.S.-Soviet 'race to the moon' in the 1960s; how astronomers began
to realize that Earth was only one of several planets; the
challenges NASA has faced, such as the explosions of the Challenger
and the Columbia Development of space stations; and, an examination
of the future of space exploration.
