Have you ever wondered just why we are so fascinated with space to develop so many science projects related to it? From the first lunar landing on July 20, 1969 millions of people on earth have been fascinated with exploring space further than the moon.

While there may be nothing new in this idea, it is interesting to see why this idea has survived for so long in the human mind. Since the time ancient man looked up in the night sky and grew enchanted with the stars there has been a latent human wish to explore the vast regions of outer space.

It is human nature to want to explain things that are unfamiliar. It is this quest to discover more that has made man climb mountains, cross deserts and plunge into the depths of the ocean. He has explored the limits of air, land and water.  Now, after generations of exploration and when most of the secrets of earth have been discovered, man has decided to extend his exploratory field to the final frontier.

This is why the space explorers have caught the imagination of the entire human race. That is the reason governments are funding science projects like the International Space Station. And that is the reason why even Google had a competition for a private vessel to land on the moon.
