ou enter the deep unknown, a place that never seems to end. The sights bring a smile to your face as you look through the                  telescope. Every day you wander around and taste the curiosity rise up when you look at the glittering diamonds in the sky.      The demanding  voices and annoying keyboards go silent, providing a much-needed break for your ears.The sweet song of silence fills you up, bringing you to your happy space. Oh, how long you have waited to see what these big companies and small local societies will show you. Each night is a new surprise as the night sky goes on forever with things you haven’t seen before. This is the place where you belong. Maybe it could be part-time or it could be full-time, but either way, it is worth every second you can give.

 

Starting in the 1950s space became a rising field of study, so the United States created the National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA. This eventually leads to the “Space Race” which causes the mission to the moon to get encouraged by a lot of people.
 

Dr. James Sowell, an avid astronomer, is currently an Astronomy Professor

that also directs the observatory at Georgia Institute of Technology. He said

that he tries to prepare his students who go to those companies

[SpaceX, NASA, etc.] with enough knowledge so they can understand why

they’re continuing to stay in the aerospace department.

 

One possible reason that he explores is space discovery. The thought that they

can participate in a mission that leads to great discovery. “Hubble's observations

of the expanding universe,” Sowell said ”That's a pretty important one. Because

finally, we're thinking about the universe, everything in it.” 

 

The Hubble Space Telescope was sent out into space by NASA in 1990 and still remains in operation, sending us photos and news about areas from our solar system to places we haven’t even reached yet.

 

Another person who believes that the Hubble telescope is quite important is Jim Sheets, an astronomer from a young age, now manages the Eagle Eye Observatory in Burnet, Texas. He thinks that space programs like NASA would be better off if they aren’t a part of the government, and space exploration could progress rapidly.

 

Hubble Space Telescope being launched. That instrument right there revolutionized astronomy because of its capabilities to look out into deep space and see a lot of things to learn and discover,” said Sheets. 

 

The Hubble Space Telescope has brought us thousands of images that made space knowledge change drastically. He also thinks that other missions are just as important.

 

“Apollo missions, [specifically] Apollo 11, getting to the moon, the Voyager 2

mission, because that one got us [out there for] first time ever.” Sheets continued.

These missions were the best thing that could happen for the general population

as more funding was given to math, science, Russian language and Mandarin

Chinese language programs, computers were becoming more advanced, and

satellites that revolutionized the space industry.

 

”We just recently saw Jupiter and Saturn [at the time], but it [ Voyager 2] took us out to Uranus and Neptune and we began to see things that when I was in college,” said Sheets. ”You'd look at a picture and it's just a little tiny white dot, and now you're seeing volcanoes and massive craters. And I mean, even more recently, the images of Pluto.” This is why every space mission and rocket launch is so important, they help us improve our technology, our education, show us new things and they became family events.
