Space, 'Big Bucks?
It will be the travelling into inner space in the next fifty years that will encourage big bucks and business for Virgin and the many who will follow with their Space planes?
Robotic Space craft Cassini is now ending its life travelling around the gas giant Saturn and its rings for the last fourteen years, before it makes the final death plunge on the 15th of September? It was one of a series of probes which has lead the way to the New Horizons to Pluto and the Kuiper Belt, and Juno has now arrived at Jupiter to make an in depth study of this gas giant the largest planet in our Solar System.
A new rover is planned to visit Venus and another Robotic car for Mars, which will tell us if it is really viable to have a human occupied base there? Humanity is a curios species, we have always like to know what was over the hill and that is how we have spread out across Earth!
Human settlement for the Moon and Mars is the goals for this century, but mining will probably we one of the ultimate goals for our race, as we move more and more into the computer age?

Cassini to Saturn.
The 15th September.
The joint ESA/NASA Saturn probe has now come almost to the end of its ten year mission exploring the Moons of the second largest gas giant in our solar system, but the first to be seen with rings of dust and ice particles around it.
Cassini named after the 15th Century Italian astronomer who found it, has now entered into its final plunge into this gas giant. It is placed in the empty zone 1500 miles between the planet and its ring fields and is sending back some dramatic pictures of the cloud movements and polar activity not seen before.
In it tens years of exploration it was able to launch a probe to the surface of Titan the largest moon with an alien atmosphere and some really weird stuff going on down there, some of which continues to baffle the scientific community to this present time?
Volcanic activity with the possibility of organic life may lay below the 100 mile thick ice sheet of Encledes, which is spout hot water into space from its many canyons on its southern pole.
The 15th September will see it burn up in the Saturn atmosphere, which is highly radioactive and perhaps we will get a glimpse of conditions below the clouds?

Space Exploration. Part-Two.
2015 A great Year.
A British man in Space, the July Pluto flyby, Pictures from a Comet and Mars seen from three views. Most people don't even bother looking up at the sky, day or night. Sometimes its the occasional drunk who claims to have seen more than one Moon!
But for may others it is the closet that we will perhaps for some time yet get into space? Just a pair of Binoculars and you open your eyes to see ponderous things, from nearby planets to distant stars and galaxies.
One may also see the International Space Station and other man made objects. The Moon is the nearest object to view, we only see one side of it because it does not rotate. Venus and Mars are next, followed by the gas giants, Jupiter, and Saturn.
Other wise we can visit the Indian, European, Russian and NASA websites to see the feast of what these many robotic craft are doing in space and on Mars.
