Space Exploration: History and What Does the Future Hold?
This lecture begins with a brief look back at space exploration history: Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, International Space Station and the Shuttle. The presentation continues with a review where we are in space exploration today, looking at private spaceflight companies including SpaceX, Blue Origin, Sierra Nevada, United Launch Alliance (Lockheed Martin and Boeing), Virgin Galactic and many others. Finally, we look at what is next including the Moon, Mars, Titan or some other celestial body. Our instructor was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his work on the Apollo 13 mission.
