Space..A cosmic canvas of stars, planets, black holes, nebulae..Trillions upon trillions of light-years across. Us humans, a dominant species of Earth don't even know half the universes secrets. From the Space Race to modern space exploration, space has captured the imagination of billions of people around the world. Now, with modern technology, scientists have built was seemingly impossible in the Space Race of the 1950s and 1960s. The James Webb Space Telescope studying distant stars..The SLS bringing humans to the moon and possibly Mars, and companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic building empires out of space exploration technology!
I'm Matthew Brown, a 12-year-old that loves space and I want to share information about space travel and exploration through my blog. I've been captivated by space since Space Day at my Preschool. We all wore astronaut helmets and pretended to be zooming through space in our "Space Shuttle" made of cardboard, hot glue, and styrofoam. Ever since that one cold day in December 2014, I voraciously consumed everything and I mean EVERYTHING. I could about space. TV Shows! Articles! Books! Comics! by the time I was in 1st Grade, my reading level was at 3rd or 4th grade capacity. Why? Well..Not to brag, but half of that was because I read every space book in my house. Twice. By the time COVID-19 hit in 2020, I was obsessed with space travel. I followed rocket launches on SpaceX's website. I watched NASA Video's on NASA.gov and scrolled through articles on websites like Idiots Guide To Space Travel and Sky Above. In 2021, when NASA announced the Artemis Program to the public. I went head-over-heels. During a 5-hour long car ride too Los Angeles the next summer, I watched with anticipation a video livestream of the Orion Spacecraft being built. By November of 2022, when I was in the hospital recovering from a seizure, I watched the unmanned Artemis I rocket launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida. In the year of 2023, I was astounded by the websites of Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, Sierra Space and others. Now, in the new year of 2024, I am ready for a new year of space-related discoveries!
