The Mars 1 (Sputnik 23) mission was a failed fly by in November 1962. It was successfully launched by the USSR (Soviet Union) on the first of November 1992. It began sending back data on interplanetary space (the space between planets which is not empty but filled with solar wind, Interplanetary Magnetic Field, Cosmic rays and Dust). After the station launched into the direction of Mars it started sending back radio transmissions every 2 days and then later into the mission every 5 days. But then

Galaxies flush their waste into deep space and surrounding halos. This flush of heavy elements by galaxies can be seen millions of light years a way. Could this be a distant galactic alien war?

Especially since human waste is filling the Earth at alarming rates. The World Bank estimates that human waste

Also, advanced telescopes that orbit Earth are exploring even the most remote edges of the universe and bringing more information about what is beyond Earth as we know it (Space Exploration). The technology and knowledge has come a long way as many countries have dedicated research to space, and have gained lots of ground in a short amount of time, now having the ability to commercially

COLONONIZING MARS AND BUILDING SMART HOTELS Recently, space tourism and space colonization topics on the agenda. The works of NASA has reached so far and today, “life in the Mars” is not a dream. With these technological developments in space science, people had started thinking about going Mars trips. So many businessmen already spent so much money on space tourism. In this case, what comes to mind is, if today, it is possible to travel to Mars, why would not be impossible not to live there

One of the benefits of deep space exploration will be our ability to mine valuable resources from asteroids, eliminating the need for mining metals from the ground and tearing up our planet. Another would be the benefits of furthering medical research. I, for one, feel that Humans should explore deep space, because there are huge benefits for exploring deep space. There are of course obstacles in
