SPACE?
• HISTORY OF SPACE SHIPS
AND SHUTTLES
• TODAY AND FUTURE

3. Why Do We Explore Space?
• Because it’s there
• Quest for knowledge
• Learn about what is around us – dangers,
benefits, natural resources
- Reap benefits of what’s around
- Reap benefits of preparing for /
undertaking exploration itself –
technology and techniques
- Survival
• Quest for understanding - learn about
ourselves and our place in the universe

operation.

23. TODAY AND FUTURE

24. EXPLORATION GOALS FOR TODAY
• Study Earth from Space to
advance scientific understanding
and meet societal needs
• Improve prediction of
climate, weather, and natural
hazards
• Discover the origin, structure, evolution, and destiny of
our universe and search for Earth-like planets
• What happened during the Big Bang? How were stars and
galaxies created? What happens at the edge of a black
hole?

25. GOALS FOR FUTURE
Return to the Moon!

26. GOALS FOR FUTURE
•2018 – Humans for week-long stays
•Next: 45-day stays at outposts

27. GOALS FOR FUTURE
Mars 2030
