Throughout history, men have built ships, set up expeditions and ventured out into the vast unknown.

Now, man has set his sights on the one realm that has eluded him for millennia, 
deep into the fringes of 
outer space.

Since sputnik, astronauts have walked on the moon. Unmanned vehicles have landed on Mars and roamed its crimson surface. Probes have travelled to Jupiter, Saturn and beyond.

Scientists have discovered planets in other solar systems. The Hubble telescope, orbiting 375 miles above us, peering into the farthest reaches of space, has unveiled the deepest portrait of the visible universe ever seen by human eyes. Man will traverse the cosmos within the next 20 years.
