The First 7 Years of Humans in Outer Space

The beginning of human space exploration was a mix of accidents, discovery, and technology improvement. On April 12, 1961 Cosmonaut Yuri Garagin became the first human to go into outer space. Just a month latter, Alan Shepperd became the first human to orbit the earth, by going on a fifteen minute sud-orbital flight. But on August 6, 1961, this record was bet when Titov was the first to spend an entire day in space. Then, on May 15, 1963 Copper pilots were in space for the longest time ever, spending 36 hours outside the earth’s atmosphere. Shortly after, on June 14, 1963 an endurance record of spending five days in space was set. Just two days later, the first woman made here entry into space but on October 12, 1924 the first space crew ever, all suffered from space sickness.
Naturally, as time progressed so did technology. On March 18, 1965, Econov became the first astronaut to walk in Outer space. Space technology continued to progress rapidly for on March 23, 1965, the first computer was brought into outer space. This computer was used for guidance. A year latter, even more advancements had been made because on March 16, 1965 the first performance of a spaceship docking with another spaceship, while in space, was carried out. By November 11, 1966 space exploration had expanded to outside the shuttle. Adrian preformed simple tasks directly in outer space on this day.
Consequently it wasn’t until almost a year later, on October 11, 1968 that they were able to receive live television images from Space. By the end
of the first seven years of human’s in space, on December 21, 1968, they put the most powerful rocket ever made into use.
Curiosity and improvement in technology has lead to learning about the outer world and as scientists discover more, the space industry will expand. As a result, the first seven years of humans in outer space was an adventure that was built on each time another person escaped the world’s atmosphere.


Question: Do you think human’s interest in outer space will
continue to expand as we learn more about space? If so, what do you think the next steps to space exploration will be?

I think in future people would have interest of space and they would explore aliens or alien's land.

Yes, I do think that human's intrests will continue to expand as we learn more about space because when people learn about all of the interesting things that they could do in space, that would probably make them want to experience those things. For example, I don't think that the first astranaut just randomly decided to go to space one day. There would have had to be something that persuaded them to decide that. So, I think that human's intrests in space exploration will continue to grow. I think that the next steps in space exploration will be to get better and more advanced pictures of planets and possibly be able to get closer to the sun.

yes the human iterest in outer space will expand as we learn more
about it , thats only my opinion though,there is alot of intersting stuff in your article like:On April 12, 1961 Cosmonaut Yuri Garagin became the first human to go into outer space,,Just a month latter, Alan Shepperd became the first human to orbit the earth, by going on a fifteen minute sud-orbital flight,,on August 6, 1961, this record was bet when Titov was the first to spend an entire day in space.i find these infirmaton queit faciniating,to me i always dreamed of being the first girl in outer space ,but iam to young,and iam pretty sure human interest in space will expand.
