Neil Armstrong with the Apollo 11 project got to the moon making him the first man to step his foot on the moon. This made humans become very optimistic that the world of technology would move very fast and during the 21st century, we will be having flying cars and many more amazing technology. Well, some were met and some weren’t, and just like Elon Musk said “People sometime think technology just automatically gets better every year, but it actually doesn’t, it only gets better if smart people work crazy to make it better”
The race for space is increasing in recent time as NASA, other government space bodies and private companies are willing to explore outside earth. Actually the space race didn’t just start but thanks to the United States and the Soviet Union over world supremacy, the exploration of space is now possible. Although, the United States and the Soviet Union were the two countries to lunch rocket to space, but it was NASA’s Germany V2 rocket which was the first manmade object to reach space.
The Soviet Union and the United State started working on how to get objects to space with the aim of putting Satellite in space so as to view enemy territories from outside earth and as you might have thought that the great United States will be the first to lunch a satellite in space but you are wrong, it was the Soviet Union. Soon a satellite crash landed into the moon and that was when Scientist wanted to reach the moon. This time around for countries in the race then, it wasn’t about war anymore, it was about making history. After the Apollo mission to the moon, the Apollo mission was suspended due to funding and this affected space exploration even though NASA was still sending satellite and other telescopes.
September 28, 2008, the first privately launched vehicle went into lower space orbit by SpaceX. On March 30th 2017, SpaceX sent a rocket to space to place a geostationary satellite, to the amazement of people, the satellite came back to earth successfully and this was a ground breaking success for Elon Musk as the Falcon 9 was a reusable rocket.
Since this successes, SpaceX have been working on reusable rockets and journey to Mars, But they aren’t the only player on this. Other private corporations like Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, Boeing, United Launch Alliance, Sierra Nevada Corporation and many more.
This will help us make progress faster with the private sector. ;)

Incredible, although the most popular now is the company led by Elon Musk, and of course the most commercial, so it has a relative weight in the race for the privatization of space.
Although it is still a unique event to have two travelers financed by a private company, it gives a lot to think about, what will be the next steps and / or the next objectives, without a doubt, technology is at home in this new dimension, we will see an evolution of the connection, we will now see the implantation of colonies in terrestrial satellites, we will see a digital system maintain order and a system in these new space borders ... the imagination is the limit.
