Outside of earth

I've always been interested in space travel and it just blows my mind thinking about it all when looking at it in further detail with conspiracies like the Multiverse and life on other planets (which there has to be...surely) but it just feels like I will never be able to experience anything exciting in my lifetime. I'm 16 at the moment but it just feels from when we had the first moon landing till now there doesn't seem to be much advancement in going further outside of what we know. I know with Elon musk and SpaceX trying to reach mars and reuse rockets which is insane to think about but do you think there will be an opportunity in my life time where I can see life on other planets, colonising of other planets, travel to outiside of our galaxy? Or even outside of the universe itself If that is even possible? Surely within the next 50 years there will be insane technological advancements to see these sort of things? Just a huge shame I might never be able to see much of it

Celebrating the Holiday Season in Space

Santa is pale because he’s in the middle of six months of darkness on Earth’s North Pole. And he delivers gifts only at night.

We hope you have a safe and happy holiday season! Celebrate with these stellar and festive space images 🎄❄️ https://t.co/EChNDJK2Uc

Look who showed up just in time on @Space_Station...maybe she was a stowaway on @SpaceX Dragon. Merry Christmas to the ground teams at @NASA and around the world supporting @NASA_Astronauts 24-7. https://t.co/JY392YVpXX

Santa sighting from the @Space_Station? 🎅 NASA Astronaut @Astro_Raja says he'll take a peak out the International Space Station's window in hopes of seeing Santa flying by this Christmas. https://t.co/F41pbJBn2c

A weather briefing just completed in French Guiana shows conditions look favorable for liftoff of an Ariane 5 rocket with the James Webb Space Telescope during a 32-minute window opening at 7:20am EST (1220 GMT) tomorrow. 📷: @esa / @CNES / @Arianespace https://t.co/1iaQ2kHjtO https://t.co/LBzIGHe1uH
