In 1957, the Soviet Union became the first country to send man -made satellites, Sputnik 1, to space.
A year after Sputnik 1 was launched, the Soviet Union again recorded history by sending the first human to space, namely Yuri Gagarin in 1961.
In 1969, the Apollo 11 mission managed to land the first human on the moon, namely Neil Armstrong, followed by Buzz Aldrin.
For 30 years, the United States and the Soviet Union competed in the space competition, known as the space race. This race is carried out to show the advantages of technology and political power of each country.
Besides humans, man-made satellites have also had a significant impact on daily life, such as GPS navigation, satellite communication, and earth observations.
In 1977, NASA sent two space rides, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, to explore the solar system and look for signs of life outside the earth. Until now, the two rides are still operating.
In 1998, the International Space Station (ISS) was launched and became a temporary residence for astronauts during the long -term mission.
Research in space has allowed humans to study different environmental effects on the human body, such as the effects of radiation and zero gravitational force.
Along with technological advances, a number of private companies such as SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic also participated in space exploration.
Space exploration has also inspired many scientific fiction works, such as films, books, and video games, which describe the world filled with the latest technology and amazing outside life.
