The Final Frontier.
We have all grown up with the concepts of Space, wither it is with Science fiction, Star Trek, Blake 7, Atlantis, Star gate SG-1. The realities of NASA putting the first man on the Moon 40 years ago and the various missions to the planet Mars and other planets in our Solar system.
Space travel was a regular occurrence in the United States, prior to the retirement of the ageing Space shuttle programme.
Space travel plays an important role in communications, Satellite TV, the Internet and weather. It also has many military aspects, that we know very little about accept perhaps for GPS. Currently thirteen nations are involved in the International space station (ISS). Which one can see flying over some part of the Earth each night.
Many schools and colleges are involved in connections daily to the astro/cosmonauts, who are on board. The ISS is the largest International gathering of co-operation between nations peacefully for some time.
