Space Exploration

People often think that the age of space exploration began with the first spaceships in the 1950s and 1960s though, in fact, astronomers had been exploring the universe long before the beginning of space flights. Galileo made the first optical telescope used for astronomy in 1609. Later scientists got a lot more information about the solar system and its planets with the help of interplanetary probes1, space capsules that carry special equipment and send information back to the Earth.

From the beginning of the space age, both the Soviet Union and the United States were active in the exploration of the solar system. Both countries had their own space programmes, competing with each other. Both countries sent their probes to the Moon, to Venus, Mars and, later, to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Anyhow, the real breakthrough2 in space exploration was the beginning of manned space flights. The first manned flight took place on April 12th, 1961, when Yuri Gagarin went into orbit in the Soviet Vostok 1 spaceship and proved that man could survive in space. At the same time, the USA carried on its Moon exploration programme and, in 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the Moon. In 1975 the USSR and the USA completed the first space experiment [ɪkˈspɛrɪmɛnt] together. The future of space exploration seems to be connected with cooperative work in space. People's wish to know about the world around us will never be satisfied and we can get the best results if we do this hard work together.
