Nicholas Copernicus, although delaying it, still eventually shocked the world when he theorized that the sun, and not the earth, was the center of our solar system. Since his scientific Inquiry, and quite frankly for thousand of years before, humanity has been obsessed with the stars and beyond. In today's age, Technology is allowing us to explore and view space like never before. I think the biggest event in modern human history was Neil Armstrong stepping onto the moon for the first time. The way that Mrs. Vesna talks about space exploration and art really resonates me. I think its clear that space means a lot to many people.
I think an awesome thing that Mrs. Vesna touched on was virgin galactic, http://www.virgingalactic.com/. This company, a spin off company of Richard Branson's virgin airlines, was meant to be the first commercial space flight company! and now many others like Mars one and the Elon musks famous, SpaceX . This video is awesome:
I think something even cooler is the planetary resources company that some great minds are collaborating together to create. While the company itself would make trillions of dollars, the technology and even art in the process will be beautiful and revolutionary.
