Product Description
Humans have explored Earth, its Moon and its atmosphere, but people have travelled hardly any distance into space. The vast distances between stars and galaxies mean that scientists on Earth study most of the universe from far away. Exploring space offers its own unique challenges and rewards. This book examines:the politics of space - the space race, weapons in space and international cooperation in space
the realities of living in space
satellites and space probes
space spinoffs
the future of space exploration - space tourism and space elevators
