Human Spaceflight - Page 2

Human spaceflight refers to the process of sending humans into outer space to explore, conduct research, or perform tasks beyond Earth's atmosphere. This activity can involve various missions, including space exploration, scientific research, and transportation to and from space stations or other celestial bodies. Human spaceflight is characterized by its use of crewed spacecraft, which are designed to support human life in the harsh environment of space. The field includes both government-sponsored missions, such as those conducted by NASA or ESA, and private sector initiatives, exemplified by companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin. Human spaceflight has contributed significantly to our understanding of space, the development of technology, and the study of the effects of space travel on the human body.
