Iran has entered the Space race!

 Three satellites on one ICBM?

The United States was the first nation to condemn Iran for their achievement of possibly putting up their own spy satellite with two others and what this will mean for the years ahead in mapping and communications having not to rely on others, but there is much more to this success and that will include a manned mission a robot, if not a manned landing on the Moon and much more!

Space is now more complicated than it was fifty years ago with the Moon landings, real or not since there is some doubt how the U.S. got there when we are struggling with our modern tech to do the same?

China and India are leading the way, while Japan has gone its own way and all have proved to be doing and discovering new things that Russia and the U.S. don't want to do, but in the years to come much will be achieved as we exhaust the discoveries within our solar system, even the distant worlds still to be observed beyond Pluto/

Private ventures by Elon Musk will be amazing in going to the outer gas giants, while Boeing has developed and new Space shuttle and Space tourism is some venture for the near future as the ISS is coming to the end of its thirty-year life and the possibility of more than one Moon base becomes a reality?

Elon Musk!

In trouble over a failed Launch?

Space is still a tricky business we may be able to launch rockets weekly up the International Space Station as well military spying, but from time to time there will be failures since humans are not perfect and make mistakes?

Musk has promised much in relation to taking men back to the Moon after forty years and reaching to Mars, with his new re-usable rockets? But this is still new and untested systems that need to be fine-lined, even the Space Shuttle still had teething problems that NASA failed to address at the cost of precious scientific lives for the prestige!

We are only sixty-one years into the Space race exploration, man has reached Pluto and now beyond! Gone to the Moon and built several Space stations culminating in the ISS! Soviet Russia/Russia and the United States were the first to dominate this race from 1957!

But now other nations have now joined this Space club, China, Japan, Europe, India, Israel and more are coming along such as Brazil, Nigeria and Iran!

Space the Final Frontier.

Vision to reach our neigbouring Star.

The idea is on the drawing board, after the discovery of a so called Goldie Locks planet orbiting a red dwarf star the nearest to us? This is still not a proven idea, but many want to get going with the Solar Sail concept?

Where does one start with all the problems of the new discoveries in our Solar System from the Kuiper belt to the now believed Ort Cloud. In fact there may be more dust between the stars than was first thought, so out goes Star Trek type space ships?

Niku and X9 are perhaps the reall next targets to investigate with a mission to both Neptune and Uranus. New Horizon is now half was to the Kuiper Belt with the first object cousing of Pluto in sight. Juno has arrived at Jupitor, a few pictures have been released but nothing more is being for the time?

It would be best to not jump to far and enjoy the discovery of what we know or can see to learn a bit more that our neigbourhood has to offer first?
