For over 60 years, humanity has been pushing the boundaries of invention, technology and imagination, sending people into space and keeping them safe on the “final frontier” for long periods of time.
During this time, we have achieved significant milestones, such as the moon landing, and have seen extraordinary individuals set some incredible records. In recent years, the emergence of private space companies such as SpaceX and Blue Origin has opened up space to a whole new group of explorers and set us on a path to deeper exploration of our solar system.
