Description
The limits of space exploration are moving outwards with time; from sounding rockets, to Earth orbit, to the Moon, to the nearer planets, and to the outer planets. With the first steps, as far as the Moon, unmanned probes have been followed by manned spacecraft. We expect both unmanned and manned spaceflight to continue outwards for the foreseeable future.
