[edit]Culture and Inspiration[edit]
[edit]Human culture exists as a social environment made up by traditions, norms, rules written or unwritten, and social practices. Cultures can be specific to groups of any size such as a family or group of friends but also as large as a state or nation. The range and diversity of human culture is markedly large. The collaboration of nations in the space age brought together different cultures an exchange and advancement of human culture. In the over fifty years of space travel the diversity of those working in space and the field has dramatically increased from the beginnings of space exploration. The advancement in diversity brought more cultures into close quarters and the result of that was the enrichment of human culture globally.
A testament to space exploration advancing culture would be the International Space Station, a monstrous collaboration between nations to construct and continually man the station. Moreover, the station operates as a research facility working on cutting edge scientific work.
The innovation and exploration of the space age has served as an inspiration to humankind. Breaking through into space travel, man entering space and taking steps on the moon, and various other achievements were pivotal moments in human development. In particular the scientific and technological advancements stand as an inspiration to students, teachers, and researchers worldwide.
Space exploration has nearly no limit to how far humankind can adventure as our technology advances. This opportunity for human life in space will pose revolutionary philosophical, political, and scientific questions spurring debate.
