Script:

Space has been a point of fascination for humans for centuries. But as technology rapidly progresses, there’s been a shift from a point of fascination to a deep need for exploration. To know what lies beyond the earth. It’s been 52 years since the first man stepped onto the moon in 1969.

And that desire to explore the vast unknown has only continued to grow. Today we’re going to talk about some of the amazing events that are set to happen before 2030 in space exploration.

Long before we sent a man to the moon, we were sending anything we could into space. With the success of Voyager 1, suddenly the horizons broadened a bit and it felt like anything was possible. Of course, that curiosity and awe was quickly used for other purposes.

During the cold war the United States and the Soviet Union entered into an unspoken competition to create the best technology. Presumably that would advance the so-called “Space Race” even faster. These advancements then led to a rapid evolution of the space industry. That period of time has been considered the Golden Age of the space industry. But, that was really just the beginning. So, fast forward some decades later, what does the new Space Age look like?

Well take a look at this. Now there are far more contenders in the game now. It’s not only about #NASA and Russia, it’s about #India and #China and a lot of other countries and private companies. With all this new competition, we’re seeing even more, cutting edge technology and plans for voyages we would have never considered before. You must have heard this: #SpaceX and Elon Musk’s obsession with Mars. Well, that’s just the tip of the Space Tech iceberg.

As a space agency, NASA emerged as the victor of the Cold War Space Race and ever since it has continued to change the aerospace industry. It has launched some of the most important research missions to date. We’re talking outside of space tech as well, like the new water purification system, research on muscle atrophy and bone loss, growing food in microgravity, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Invested in gathering information on how space works and what makes planets inhabitable, NASA continues to find vital information about how life works on other planets. Beyond the fact that that is an incredibly cool concept, they use that information to figure out new ways to get astronauts deeper into space and eventually to other planets.

But, we just threw a lot at you, so let’s break that down. We’ve got a few main players: Nasa, India, and China. So, what are they up to?

NASA sent its last man to the moon in 1972. But, they recently announced the Artemis project to send humans back to the moon by 2024. It’s mentioned on the nasa website that “The agency has continued to gain momentum toward sending humans to the Moon again for the first time since the last Apollo lunar mission in 1972.”
Well, it doesn’t stop here. They also plan to send humans to Mars by 2030. NASA has already sent rovers and landers to mars and they have been able to study and understand what the surface looks and feels like. While that’s very cool, Mars is still just a bit too far enough for a man to reach. At least for now.

But, NASA is working on technology that would enable a crewed Mars mission by 2030. On top of all that, they are developing a powerful nuclear-powered propulsion system to reduce the travel time. They are also working on other technologies like Inflatable Heat Shields to land astronauts, High Tech Martian Spacesuits, Martian Homes, Labs on wheels, and Laser communication to send more information home. And you are certainly not alone if all of that sounds like something straight out of a Sci-Fi movie.

But, that’s enough about NASA. What about India?

India’s ISRO is known for its ability to cut costs and improve the technology of missions. This is a good, low cost way to send commercial payloads to space. The Mangalyaan, and ISRO space probe, was sent successfully to Mars. This Mars orbiter mission made India the third country to accomplish this and they did so at a cost of only 74 million dollars.

Remember the time in 2014 when that info broke the internet. While one agency used that money to launch a real space mission, the other.. launch a simulated space mission.

    With all the problems in the US and in the world there's zero chance NASA will send humans to land on the Moon by 2024 or humans to land on Mars by 2030.

    The US had problems with crippling federal debt, inflation and probably several more iterations of Covid or some other disease. Also who knows what's going to happen between Russia and Ukraine which could intensify at any time.

    With all the current problems on Earth and problems that might arise I'd be surprised if there were manned space missions to land on the Moon before 2040. Manned space missions to land on Mars are decades away. Add in the exponentially higher costs of a manned space mission to land on Mars and I'd say NASA won't even tried before 2060 probably decades later.

    You didn't mention about spacex missions, they are going to launch spacecrafts to moon by 2024 and to mars by 2029. And India's isro isn't that successful because of reservations. They concentrate more on reservations rather than talents

    Something i'm excited for, is when our children or grandchildren (for those of us born after 1990) will have the opportunity to go to space as a somewhat casual job. Imagine being hired to mine ores on the moon, or being specifically trained to pilot certain spacecraft to assist in future endeavors. Heck, there might eventually be a time where they'll need a form of police to help maintain order at sites on Mars, the Moon, and perhaps beyond that.

    its dissapointing that you mentioned the '69 moon landing which probably every scientist knows its only a hollywood script but cannot admit it..we ll see in the future how long a human can live after they pass the Van Allen belt- you know the 1 with the radiation, its estimated 10 at most 20y

    It’s mind boggling to hear that we’ll witness the moon spacewalk in our lifetime, now with a better broadcasting technology of course. Space and beeyond!
