The answer to all these questions is the same: reaching for new heights often creates new solutions, new opportunity and elevated hope back on the ground
There should be a regulatory framework that treats carbon dioxide emissions as pollution, setting upper limits on how much pollution companies and nations can release.

These tensions would continue throughout the space race, exacerbated by such events as the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961, the Cuban missile crisis of 1962 and the outbreak of war in Southeast Asia
Then, on November 17, controllers ordered the spacecraft's engines to fire, lifting Surveyor 6 off the lunar surface 3 meters (10 feet) and setting it down again a few feet from the original landing site.

What scientists learn from the ISS will likely be a stepping stone to sending humans on manned missions to Mars and beyond.In the meantime, scientists have pushed forward with a wide variety of unmanned machines built to explore the deepest corners of our solar system. Tesa's Class Jan 16, 2014 We are still WONDERing: - How do people send satellites into space? - Can people live on Mars? - How many planets are in the universe? - What is the biggest star? - Who is the most recent person to walk on the moon? - How many constellations are there in the solar system?
