Module overview

Why should we all care about space travel? What are the benefits of exploring the cosmos? Well, human beings are explorers by nature. We didn’t stay in the savannas; we didn’t stay in the caves; we didn’t stay on the continents; we didn’t even stay on our planet. We have always moved on – we explored – we colonised – we discovered – we invented.  Space is our destiny.

In this module, learners will explore the significance of space exploration and it’s role in human progress.
