Space Travel

Space travel is very important in the future. It will allow the human race to survive in the future when the time comes when Earth is no longer useful to human beings. Space travel would allow humans to colonize more land and even communicate with other lifeforms that may live in this galaxy. In space travel, you must have some type of fuel that will allow you to reach very high speeds(i.e 50% speed of light). So for this, you might want to use the energy produced by nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is when atoms collide into each other under very high pressure. This would create enough fuel for you to reach very high speeds. Although you have the fuel you need to go at high speeds, you can also use the planets. The gas giants have an immense gravitational pull and you can exploit this by maneuvering your rocket around, for example, Jupiter. This will allow you to gain more speed after you exit the gravitational pull of Jupiter. This technique has been used by previous satellites(i.e ...

Space Conditions

Space has always been a mystery. It is hard to know what goes on space due to our limited reach, but one thing that astronomers know is the conditions of space. Ever since the Big Bang, space has been changing, from size to the contents within space. The conditions of space show what it was like near the beginning of time. As time progresses, space will continue to shift and change. Space is a vacuum. There is little to no particles(excluding things like stars, galaxies, planets, etc.) in outer space, so this means that there is no friction at all in space. Because of space being a vacuum, the temperature in interstellar space(a place in space where it has no effect from nearby stars and other astronomical bodies) is around 3 °  K(K means Kelvin). To put it in perspective, that is about -270 ° C or  -454 °  F.  But when there is something like a star or planet near, the temperature around it is much higher. For example, the temperature around the Earth is around...
