Space Travel

Space travel refers to the act of traveling beyond Earth’s atmosphere into outer space. This encompasses a variety of activities, including the exploration of other celestial bodies, such as the Moon, Mars, and beyond, as well as journeys into orbit around Earth. Space travel can be conducted by astronauts aboard spacecraft, satellites, and probes, or through proposed future technologies such as space tourism or interplanetary colonization. The process involves complex engineering, scientific research, and the application of various technologies to overcome the challenges of the space environment, such as microgravity, radiation exposure, and the need for life support systems. Space travel has been a significant focus of human exploration and scientific advancement since the mid-20th century, beginning with missions like the Soviet Sputnik and the American Apollo program.
