J anuary 31, 1958 marked a significant beginning for space exploration. More than the historic and successful launch of Explorer 1, the first U.S. satellite, it was the beginning of an unprecedented era of exploration and understanding of our own planet and the distant worlds beyond. The more we uncover about the mysteries and beauty of space, the more we are inspired to go farther. Yet, with all we have learned, we still cannot even imagine what future generations will find.Spacecraft from NASA and others have shown us the intricacies within clouds and terrain of distant planets that were only a dot in an astronomer’s telescope a few decades ago. We have seen the birth of stars, black holes, and found exoplanets orbiting stars in systems remarkably similar to ours. Future missions will take us forward in history, as we seek to uncover the very origins of our universe.In the modern era of exploration, which itself will look outdated in a generation, we have discovered the extraordinary rings and moons of Saturn with NASA’s Cassini spacecraft and the Huygens lander built by the European Space Agency. We marvel at images of the swirling storms on Jupiter sent back to Earth by our Juno mission. And we constantly find new science from the Curiosity rover that’s been trekking across the surface of Mars for more than five years.Our robotic emissaries have made tremendous journeys over the past six decades. They carry the vision and inspiration of humankind beyond our physical ability to make the trip—yet. This book celebrates the extraordinary men and women who have looked up and wondered what’s out there and then found the answer. In only 60 years, our technology has evolved from a simple, modified Geiger counter launched into Earth orbit to sublime technologies sending full-color, high-resolution images and data from the edge of the universe. The next 60 should be exponentially rewarding.
