Topic: The space age is upon us. (Read 176 times)
Trump also launched their Space Agency protection programme earlier so space age is definitely coming. I wouldnt be surprised if problems will arise after that because USA will try to seize all space thats what they are good at sadly.
We definitely are still at the tip of the iceberg. As humanity evolve, we would be able to discover so many things. Sucks i can't live to see those discoveries.
The space-age idea is all hype to raise money for who knows what. After all, even if it were safe, how many of us will ever get to go, right?
Back in the 1950s, there was all kinds of propaganda pushed about how the then-children would be flying all over the solar system and further when they became adults. Many of those "then-children" have died of "old-age" without even seeing the beginnings of what they envisioned as children.
Go back and look at the science-fiction books from back then. Check the dates on the stories listed at http://www.luminist.org/archives/. There are loads of sci-fi books listed there. The biggest sci-fi of all was the idea that we would be going. And now they are starting the sci-fi all over again.
Back in the 1950s and early 1960s, they had a method to go anywhere in the solar system and beyond. They had the beginnings of a practical program for "going where no-one has ever gone before." But instead of developing it into something practical and safe, they cancelled it. See https://newatlas.com/orion-project-atom-bomb-spaceship/49454/.
The whole space idea is hype designed to get people to willingly give of their time and money so some companies can get richer.

I know the term has been used since the late '40s, but I feel it's only just begun. Today the US launched two astronauts into space on a completely commercial rocket, for far cheaper than any space mission the US has executed it's self. The age of commercial space flights is a distinct possibility now. Maybe within my lifetime, and most probably within my children's lifetime average humans will be able to afford a flight to the moon or even Mars.
It's really an inspiring thing to witness, and would be even more amazing to have some participation. I can't help but think we're on the brink of learning so much about our solar system. The possibility of sending humans to the moons of Jupiter and Saturn seems more likely today than it did yesterday. I hope I live long enough to see it.

This mission is going to launch a new era of rocket launches.
I expect now more companies to try to send missions to the space after SpaceX - this means that we are going to discover new options and new things on the earth. My bet is that Virgin is going to be the next company after SpaceX.

Did you notice that the booster landing appeared to be faked?
