	Space exploration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Space exploration is the physical exploration of outer space.
		Per the Vision for Space Exploration, the Space Shuttle is due to be retired in 2010 due mainly to its old age and high cost of program reaching over a billion dollars per flight.
		Space colonization, also called space settlement and space humanization, is the permanent autonomous (self-sufficient) human habitation of locations outside Earth, specially in natural satellites or planets (Moon, Mars...).

	Space exploration - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Space exploration is the physical exploration of outer-Earth objects and generally anything that involves the technologies, science, and politics regarding space endeavors.
		The first reusable spacecraft, the Space Shuttle, was launched by the USA on the 20th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's flight, on April 12, 1981.
		The Space Shuttle is due to be retired by 2010, and due to be replaced by the Crewed Exploration Vehicle which may be itself be reusable.

	CSXT SpaceShot 2004 - First Amateur Launch to Space
		Stratofox was privileged to be invited as a part of the Civilian Space eXploration Team's efforts for the SpaceShot 2004.
		The rocket was built by the Civilian Space eXploration Team (CSXT), which is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
		The internationally-recognized scientific definition of a space flight is one which reaches an altitude of at least 100km, which is the same thing as 62 miles or 328,000 ft. Well before that point, the aerodynamic influences of the atmosphere are gone, and flight is only possible by something built to be a spacecraft.

		The launch of the GoFast takes place at a time when several civilian teams around the world are working to put payloads and people in space cheaply using private funds.
		While some teams are competing for prizes, others, such as the CSXT project, are motivated by their passion for space and potential markets for their services when they succeed.
		The Foundation has long supported the idea of opening space to the people, and had at one time offered a limited duration $250k prize called the Cheap Access to Space Prize for the first team to place 2 kilograms at an altitude of 200 km, which ended in 2001.

		Despite all the optimism and anti-statism rhetoric, maybe we shouldn't forget that a lot of the technology used in the current push into space by private concerns is a result of government-funded programs, all the better to kill people.
