APACE RESEARCH

The urge to explore and search the unknown is part of human nature and has led to many of
the most important changes in our standard of living. 
Searching and exploring enriches our spirits and reminds us of the great potential of
achievement. The drive to develop the next frontier has also been a fundamental part of
the heritage of the people of the world. Every year, billions of dollars are spent on the
exploration of space. Many citizens doubt the necessity to research our solar system and
the rest of our universe. Spaceflight may seem us as an ultramodern idea, but evidence of
the dream of space exploration exists as far back as texts from early centruies from the
first millenium. From Thales to Copernicus including almost 14 hundred years some of the
scientists could declare that the earth was round and sun was the center of our solar
system.. Much later, in the 1600's, Sir Isaac Newton formulated the laws of universal
gravitation and motion. Today a rocket operates under this principle. The first American
satellite, Explorer 1, was launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida on January 31, 1958.
Later, Yuri A. Gagarian, a Russian cosmonaut, made one full orbit around the Earth on
April 12. The United States had become furious. Their mission was to be the first men on
the moon. The Lunar Module had landed on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong descended the
ladder and said the famous words, That's one small step for man and one giant step for
mankind. Today, instead of competing against one another, Russia and America are working
together, planning the construction of an international space station. We know that we
have learned much about our planet from our journeys in to space. Today everybody in the
earth knows the importance of satellites for communication. It takes seconds to be
connected with anyone otherside of the planet. Satellites at thousands of kilometers
miles out in space can survey Earth's oceans, land use and resources, and monitor the
planet's health also play a major role in daily local weather forecasting. These
electronic eyes warn us of dangerous storms. Continuous global monitoring provides a vast
amount of useful data and contributes to a better understanding of Earth's complex
weather systems.
Our civilization is being threatened with overpopulation. Soon our natural resources will
be diminished to a degree where they cannot possibly support the entire human race. The
hole in the ozone layer grows larger everyday. Expanding the human population to the
point where we live throughout the solar system would help end the risk of extinction.,
possibly even due to a single event, be it nuclear war, or the impact of a comet. 
As a result, over the centuries mankind has kept advancing in the courses of technology,
theories, etc., bringing us the possibilities of actually exploring the universe. Who
knows, at the rate we've kept going at, mankind may soon be living on other planets in
our solar system
