Space Travel - Page 2

Space travel refers to the act of traveling beyond Earth's atmosphere to explore outer space. This can involve a variety of activities, including transporting astronauts and cargo to destinations such as the International Space Station (ISS), conducting scientific research, or exploring celestial bodies like the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Space travel can be conducted using various types of spacecraft, including rockets, space shuttles, and space probes, utilizing advanced technology to navigate the challenges of space, such as microgravity, radiation, and the vacuum of space. The field encompasses both human spaceflight, where astronauts are onboard the spacecraft, and unmanned missions, where robotic spacecraft are sent to gather data and perform experiments. Space travel has both scientific and commercial implications, contributing to our understanding of the universe and facilitating the development of technologies used on Earth.
