WHAT IS SPACE?In astronomy and cosmology, space

is the vast 3-dimensional region that begins where the earth's atmosphere

ends. Space is usually thought to begin at the lowest altitude at which satellites can maintain orbits for a

reasonable time without falling into the atmosphere.

What made us discover space?

Why we explore, why we wanted to discover the translunar space and why we want to explore the asteroids, the Mars and the Moons. From the start of the world people have gazed into the skies and have thought of the beauties beyond their reach.

There are many question asked about our universe but the most important question is, how it all began?

Scientists, in their attempt to answer these and other confrontations, have found one idea that seems to explain much of what we don't understand: The Big Bang Theory. 

An explosion of incomprehensible speed was the beginning of our known Universe and existence.

Humanity's interest in the heavens has been universal and enduring. Humans are driven to

explore the unknown, discover new worlds, push the boundaries of our scientific and technical limits, and then push further. The intangible

desire to explore and challenge the boundaries of what we know made us discover space

It is all curiosity. Where our imagination ends

there the space begins. Space is the Final

Frontier.

HOW WE DISCOVERED space?

We started the discovery of space through telescopes first ever telescope was invented by Hans Lippershey. Then

scientists used telescopes so they can observe the stars and planets. Then with the passage of time scientists started to use rockets or space shuttles so they can

travel to space and observe the planets by themselves. The first human spaceflight

took place on 12 April 1961, when cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin made one orbit

around the Earth.

NASA has designed a new Z-1 spacesuit, which was named one of the year's best inventions by TIME Magazine. The new suit, which bears a Buzz Lightyears-esque appearance with its green accents, boasts superior mobilityover the old suits, a large entrance port for easy donning, and increased radiation protection to allow for longer spacewalks.

On May 25, SpaceX became the first private company to

dock a spacecraft at the International Space Station with its Falcon 9 rocket and

Dragon spacecraft. On December 17, the company delivered its encore with a

successful test of its Grasshopper reusable rocket, in which the rocket hovered at

an altitude of over 130 feet before landing safely.

Space Adventures, Ltd., has arguably been the most prolific global supplier of civilian space tourism. Virgin Group, operating

from New Mexico's Spaceport America launch site, seeks to

eradicate the exclusivity of this venture. In 2004, the company completed the first privately-

funded human spaceflight with its SpaceShipOne vehicle, wherein its pilot and only

passenger. There next project SpaceShipTwo vehicle.

While NASA's Mars Science Laboratory, a.k.a. Curiosity rover, has taken front stage in recent months, a project

that remains in development is the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile

Evolution (MAVEN) probe, an unmanned spacecraft that

will be used to sample Mars' environment. The probe is

scheduled for launch in November 2013 and is

expected to reach Mars in 2014.
