Throughout human history, people have sought more knowledge about their surroundings, and that includes the skies above them. In this module, you traced the history of space exploration from the invention of gunpowder through the current and future projects created by NASA in recent years. You learned about international astronomy organizations which help shape discoveries, classifications, and education related to astronomy. Finally, you examined the Drake equation to determine if life could exist in another solar system or in another galaxy. What do you think? Are we alone in the universe, or are we on the cusp of discovering other beings from far-off places?
