These efforts began with the launch of artificial satellites, followed quickly by sending crewed spacecraft to orbit. All in preparation for eventual missions to the Moon!______________________ResourcesWhat Was the Space Race? - National Air and Space Museum: https://airandspace.si.edu/stories/editorial/what-was-space-race______________________For more podcast Stories from Space with Matthew S Williams, visit: https://itspmagazine.com/stories-from-space-podcast

In the future, the country plans to establish a base on the Moon, send taikonauts to Mars, and become a direct rival to NASA. Like all space programs, its inception was tied to the Cold War and the development of nuclear weapons. However, it has since evolved to become a major player in space exploration and research.______________________ResourcesChina: A Global Power’s Celestial Ambitions - Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada: https://www.asiapacific.ca/publication/china-global-powers-celestial-ambitions______________________For more podcast Stories from Space with Matthew S Williams, visit: https://itspmagazine.com/stories-from-space-podcast

The astronomical and cosmological traditions they created were extremely fascinating but are still subject to prejudice. Like their peers in Eurasia and East Asia, the Aztecs watched the heavens avidly and discerned patterns that influenced their worldview, calendar systems, and even urban planning.______________________ResourcesAztecs Used an Extremely Accurate Solar Observatory to Manage Their Farming - Universe Today: https://www.universetoday.com/159220/aztecs-used-an-extremely-accurate-solar-observatory-to-manage-their-farming/______________________For more podcast Stories from Space with Matthew S Williams, visit: https://itspmagazine.com/stories-from-space-podcast

But what exactly does it mean? Interestingly, the way we define "habitable" has changed in recent decades, thanks to the number of confirmed exoplanets and our growing knowledge of how life evolved here on Earth.______________________ResourcesNASA Science - The Habitable Zone: https://science.nasa.gov/exoplanets/habitable-zone/______________________For more podcast Stories from Space with Matthew S Williams, visit: https://itspmagazine.com/stories-from-space-podcast

This is the essence of the Percolation Hypothesis.

This has allowed astronomers to measure cosmic distance and the Hubble Constant - how fast the cosmos is expanding.The only problem is that measurements of the local Universe vs. the earliest observable galaxies produce different distance results. This has come to be known as the "Hubble Tension," and its far from resolved.______________________ResourcesHacking The Cosmological Distance Ladder - Fraser Cain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGYHwpsMQ1w______________________For more podcast Stories from Space with Matthew S Williams, visit: https://itspmagazine.com/stories-from-space-podcast
