History

Humans have always looked up into the night sky and dreamed about touching the stars and exploring our universe. In the latter half of the 20th century, rockets were developed that were powerful enough to overcome the force of gravity to reach orbital velocities, paving the way for space exploration to become a reality. Humanity has managed to land people on the Moon, land robots and probes onto Mars, and managed to send out satellites beyond Pluto's orbit.
