Spaceflight or space flight is the use of space technology to achieve the flight of spacecraft into and through outer space. Spaceflight is used in space exploration, and also in commercial activities like space tourism and satellite telecommunications. Additional non-commercial uses of spaceflight include space observatories, reconnaissance satellites and other earth observation satellites. A spaceflight typically begins with a rocket launch, which provides the initial thrust to overcome the force of gravity and propels the spacecraft from the surface of the Earth. Once in space, the motion of a spacecraft—both when unpropelled and when under propulsion—is covered by the area of study called astrodynamics. Some spacecraft remain in space indefinitely, some disintegrate during atmospheric reentry, and others reach a planetary or lunar surface for landing or impact. From Wikipedia under the

Wouldn't you agree that man belongs in space ? Asked by Capt. Kirk - Thu Aug 13 17:49:56 2009 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. From a purely scientific and objective point of view, Man does not belong in space. A weightless environment causes human bones to lose density and become more brittle; and causes muscles to lose mass and strength. After a year or two in space, somebody patting you on the back could break your shoulder. The human body is adapted to the gravity environment of Earth. Man does not belong in space. .
