Spaceflight, still in its infancy, promises Mankind the ability to one day travel
to the stars and colonize other planets. While we are far from
achieving this lofty goal, the pace of space exploration is accelerating.
With the formation of
The Spaceship Company by Sir Richard Branson
and Burt Rutan and subsequent construction of SpaceShipTwo, private
sector commercial suborbital flight will commence.
The long-anticipated manned exploration of Mars is actively being pursued.
With visionary groups of citizens and scientists like
The Mars
Society and
President Bush’s new space initiative for NASA
driving the effort, it appears the goal is coming within reach.
New technologies are spawning the next generation of ground-based and space
telescopes capable of observing the most distant corners of the universe,
both in space and time. Telescopes such as these promise to provide
astrophysicists and quantum theorists with the information they require
to begin unlocking the most fundamental secrets of the universe.
These space activities and their outcomes are all tremendous newsmaking
topics which present us with a daily supply of space, space science,
spaceflight, astronomy and astrophysics news stories. Our goal is to
introduce you to the most direct and up-to-date sources for online space
news and space science news through which you can acquire these news
stories as they break. The quest for space and unlocking the secrets of
the universe do not excite everyone, but if they excite you, a periodic
visit to this page will enable you to satisfy your quest for space
knowledge.
