Space missions began in 1962 with the Soviet Union's Luna 3, the first to photograph the moon. The US began missions in 1963. Both nations were engaged in a race to the moon as Cold War superpowers seeking technological and security advantages. Key early missions included Luna 3's photos, Ranger 7's photos for the US, and Apollo 8's orbit of the moon in 1968. Apollo 11 achieved the first moon landing in 1969. Later missions included Apollo 13's aborted landing due to an explosion, Apollo 15's deployment of the first lunar rover, and Apollo 17's final crewed mission and first geologist visit in 1972, bringing the space race to an end.

Potential Habitable Exoplanets: Interstellar Space Travel As Mankind's Salvation
Potential Habitable Exoplanets: Interstellar Space Travel As Mankind's SalvationAhmad Afandi Nor Azmi
Humans are natural born explorers, we charge into unchartered territory to seek out the unknown, we have mapped nearly every inch of Mother Earth and left tracks on the moon. But to set foot on another planet, to travel beyond our solar system, that’s the dream of the future.
This presentation deals with quest of new worlds and the fate of humanity. Sounds like a job for explorers of tomorrow, but the search of another earth is happening right now. Although this sounds like a realm of science fiction, the aspects covered are rooted in real science.Man in space timeline

Space Race: Photos That Will Capture Your Imagination
Technological developments in the mid-20th Century made space travel possible. Humans, for thousands of years, had always looked up at the sky and wondered. There was a lot of curiosity about what lies above the Earth, in the heavens.
The invention of rockets and space probes made it possible for the first time to get out of Earth and actually see and sometimes go to heavenly bodies. Human beings, for the first time in thousands of years, traveled out of the Earth. But the Space Race was actually accelerated by the geopolitical competition between two opposing superpowers.
Both nations, USA and USSR, tried their best to be the first in many things in space. USSR was leading initially in the space race with its spectacular achievements. The USA was also catching up with its rockets and space probes.
Americans finally became the first to land humans on the moon in 1969, a big achievement. The pace of the space race slowed after that and there was even coloration between the superpowers in the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975.
The NASA and the Apollo 11
The document summarizes the history of NASA and the Apollo program. It describes how NASA was founded in 1958 to replace NACA and oversee the US space program, including unmanned missions from 1958 onward. A key goal was the Apollo program to land astronauts on the Moon, which achieved the first manned lunar landing in 1969 by Apollo 11. The Apollo missions continued through 1972, conducting lunar surface exploration and scientific studies, but growing costs led the government to end the program.
Space race by sana
The Space Race was a competition between the Soviet Union and United States during the Cold War to achieve firsts in space exploration. It began with the launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957 and ended with the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975. Key events included the first artificial satellite, first human in space, first woman in space, first spacewalk, and the first lunar landing. Both countries made major advancements in science, technology, and education during this period to gain a competitive advantage in the race.
The History Of Space
The document provides a historical overview of several major events in space exploration from the 1960s to the 1980s:
1) It describes several "firsts" by American astronauts in the 1960s, including Alan Shepard as the first American in space, John Glenn becoming the first to orbit Earth, and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin performing the first spacewalk.
2) The near disaster of Apollo 13 in 1970 is summarized, when an oxygen tank ruptured requiring the astronauts to use the lunar module to return safely.
3) The document outlines the Apollo 15 and 17 missions to the moon in 1971 and 1972, including the first use of a lunar rover and the last Apollo mission.

Apollo- Megan O'Neil
President John F. Kennedy gave a speech at Rice Stadium in 1962 announcing the goal of landing a man on the moon by the end of the decade to demonstrate American superiority over the Soviet Union in the space race. NASA established Project Apollo to meet this goal through a series of unmanned and manned missions testing rocket launches and spacecraft to develop the technology needed to eventually land astronauts safely on the lunar surface.
Space timeline
The document provides a history of major events in space exploration from 1957 to 1998. It begins with the Soviet Union launching Sputnik 1 and Sputnik 2, carrying the first animal into space. The US launched its first satellites Explorer 1 and Vanguard 1 in response. NASA was formed in 1958 to lead US space initiatives. The space race then involved firsts such as putting humans into space and on the moon. International cooperation grew over time, culminating in the launch of the International Space Station module in 1998.
