32. Resources and Energy
• There is a lot of stuff out there, a lot of good
stuff. Therefore a lot of $$$$$!
• Water, iron, nickel, helium 3, literally
everything we could ever want (besides food).
• The energy in the universe is virtually
limitless. We could never use all of it. Solar
energy and chemicals to produce energy.
33. Spin-off Technology
• Water Purification
• LEDs
• Artificial Limbs
• Freeze Dried Foods
• Solar Energy
• invisible braces
34. Exploration
• Exploration has given us everything
we as a culture have today. Our
prosperity, food, information and
innovation.
• Exploration of the Universe will give
us everything we need to survive for a
much longer time as a species, not
only that but it is really damn cool.
35. Today’s Space
Exploration
• Who is doing it
• What are they doing
• Where are they going
• This isn’t 1960, a lot more nations
robots, and people are traveling
through space.
36. China
• As a communist Nation the world
snubbed it. Not allowing it’s
astronauts on the space station. Nor
does the US even cooperate with
China often.
• It is the 3rd nation to ever launch a
human into space.
37. Tiangong 1
• A space labratory created by the
Chinese.
• Testing docking capabilities for a
future planned space station.
38. Shenzhou 8
• Both a manned and unmanned spacecraft.
• First Chinese spacecraft to dock with A Chinese
Labratory, Tiangong 1.
• Tiangong 1 and Shenzhou 8 successfully
docked on November 2 2011.
• Plans for manned mission starts next year.
China will open its Space Station to all, or so
they say.

40. China’s Space
Exploration Future
• China plans to have it’s own space
station slated to be operational
between 2016 to 2020. Around the
time the ISS goes into retirement.
• They plan on having a moonwalk
around 2025.
41. Russia
• Russia is 1 of the 2 main partners in
the ISS (International Space Station).
• It recently sent a failed probe to Mars.
• Conducted a major experiment for a
long mission to mars.
• Currently fairies NASA Astronauts to
the ISS.
