	Space Exploration - MSN Encarta
		Space exploration is a use of astronomy and space technology to physically explore outer space, with both human spaceflight and robotic spacecraft.
		Although artificial satellites and piloted spacecraft are achievements of the last half of the 20th century, the technology and principles of space travel stretch back hundreds of years, to the invention of rockets in the 11th century and the formulation of the laws of motion in the 17th century.
		In space, the motions of satellites and interplanetary spacecraft are described by the laws of motion formulated by German astronomer Johannes Kepler, also in the 17th century.

	Space exploration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Space exploration is the physical exploration of outer space 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.
		Per the Vision for Space Exploration, the Space Shuttle is due to be retired in 2010.

	SPACE EXPLORATION,
		In a large sense, space exploration, or astronautics, is interdisciplinary in that it draws upon the findings of such fields as physics, astronomy, mathematics, chemistry, biology, medicine, electronics, and meteorology.
		The space age and practical astronautics commenced with the launching of Sputnik 1 by the Soviet Union in October 1957 and of Explorer 1 by the U.S. in January 1958.
		During the centuries when space travel was only a fantasy, researchers in the sciences of astronomy, chemistry, mathematics, meteorology, and physics developed an understanding of the solar system, the stellar universe, the atmosphere of the earth, and the probable environment in space.

	Time Line of Space Exploration
		This new space telescope, built by NASA, was the first to provide an all-sky continuous survey in the gamma-ray and X-ray spectra.
		They perform three space walks, installing six new gyroscopes, a new guidance sensor, a new computer, a voltage/temperature kit for the spacecraft's batteries, a new transmitter, a new solid state recorder, and thermal insulation blankets.
		July 12, 2001 - Space Shuttle Atlantis lifts off in the pre-dawn darkness for the ISS with the Joint Airlock which will enable space walks to be performed directly from the space station itself (I am there to watch the launch!).
