In 1957, the launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik marked the inception of human space exploration. Over the past 67 years, there have been numerous groundbreaking achievements in this realm. Among these, the 1969 Apollo 11 mission, which successfully landed humans on the Moon, stands out as particularly significant. At the time of the moon landing, many envisioned that space travel would by now be routine, with ventures to Mars and the initiation of interstellar exploration already underway. While those grand visions remain unrealized, the ongoing achievements continue to push the boundaries of our understanding of the Solar System and the Universe.
