Will the rebirth of the rocket recreate the once great space race interest in exploration of the galaxies? I certainly hope that the goal to return to the moon and then the goal to build a station on that moon in order to reach mars rekindles the curiosity of children in science, space and space exploration. I read an essay from the New York Times and it has quite a bleak outlook on space and man’s understanding of the entire universe in the future:
The Universe, Expanding Beyond All Understanding
Our successors, whoever and wherever they are, may have no way of finding out about the Big Bang and the expanding universe.
The article lends weight and creates a sense of urgency to get farther into space and make sure that we try to decipher the secrets of our origins sooner as opposed to later.
