We travel to space… to stay!
To fully enjoy reading this post, listen to Spacelab by Kraftwerk
Going into space is not enough to take advantage of all the possibilities that the space environment could unleash, you have to learn to stay up there. And indeed we are doing it! The first space outpost, the Russian Salyut-1, was launched into Low Earth Orbit fifty years ago, just ten years after the Yuri Gagarin’s first flight.
Since then, many “space stations” orbited the Earth, and humans have now lived in space continuously for more than twenty years. And many space habitat projects are just awaiting to be done in the near future!
In the newly updated blog section Humans in Space, now also in Italian, you can find some history, a look at present developments and some taste of future possibilities.
Have a look and shout the Spacepolitans motto: Space For All, All For Space!
