From the First Satellite to Alper Gezeravcı: Let’s Take a Bird’s Eye View of Humanity’s Significant Steps in Space!

Humanity has achieved significant developments in the space race, starting with the launch of the first satellite. As the idea of establishing colonies on the Moon is debated today, let’s explore the space journey from the past to the present together. 👇

The space race began with the Soviet Union launching “Sputnik 1” into space on October 4, 1957.

In response, the United States launched “Explorer 1” into space on January 31, 1958.

Within the Vostok Program, the Soviet Union pioneered manned space travel, and on April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first human to orbit the Earth aboard the “Vostok 1” spacecraft.

U.S. President Kennedy set the goal of sending humans to the Moon on September 12, 1962, initiating the Gemini and Apollo programs.

Until 1963, the Soviet Union sent 5 cosmonauts into space with Vostok capsules, and among them, Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman in space.

The Soviet Union transitioned to larger Voskhod space capsules, and on March 8, 1965, Alexei Leonov made the first spacewalk with “Voskhod 2.”

“Apollo 8” became the first manned spacecraft to orbit the Moon in December 1968.

On July 21, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the Moon with “Apollo 11.”

Following Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, the U.S. sent a total of 10 astronauts to the Moon until 1972.

The International Space Station was established in 1998 through the joint efforts of the United States, Russia, the European Space Agency, Japan, and the Canadian Space Agency to maintain a continuous human presence in space and conduct scientific research.

China took a significant step in manned space travel by sending Yang Liwei into space with Shenzhou 5 on October 15, 2003.

NASA concluded publicly funded flight programs in 2011 and began collaborating with the private sector, utilizing SpaceX’s spacecraft.

On January 18, 2024, Alper Gezeravcı became the first Turkish astronaut to travel to space through SpaceX’s Axiom Mission 3 mission.

  Disturbing Photos That Make You Feel Like No One Should See Them Don’t forget to comment on which one is more disturbing. A vendor’s collection of glass eyes. A strange machine used in 1932 to achieve beauty. Another disturbing photo taken during the Victorian era. A man proudly posing with his collection of heads. Medical students practicing on a table that reads, “A human’s usefulness doesn’t end even after death.” A man wearing a special mask designed to treat cancer on his face and neck in England in 1924. High school girls wearing gas masks marching in a parade in Japan in 1944.

  Roma’nın En Hüzünlü ve Şanssız İmparatorlarından Birisi: Claudius Tarih boyunca cesareti, zalimliği, sertliği ve savaşçı ruhuyla tanınan imparatorlar oldu. Ancak bazı hükümdarlar, yaşamlarında derin duygusal unsurlar taşıyarak gözlemleyenleri hatta üzüntüye sevk edebildi. Roma İmparatoru Claudius da böyle bir şanssız hükümdardı. Claudius, M.Ö. 10 yılında İtalya dışında, Galya’da doğmuştu. Çocukluğundan beri tarihe büyük bir ilgisi vardı. Buna rağmen siyasete katılamadı. İlk kez, yeğeni Caligula ile birlikte 37 yılında konsül olarak göreve başladı. Caligula, Tiberius’un vasiyetiyle imparator olmuştu; Claudius ise devlet işlerinden uzak tutuldu. Fiziksel ve zihinsel rahatsızlıkları onu bürokrasiden uzak tuttu. O zamanlar, Claudius’un imparator olabileceğini düşünen olmamıştı. Claudius, doğuştan sakat bir ayağa sahipti. Omuzları ve dizleri zayıftı, başı titriyor, bazen ağzından tükürük akıyordu. Elleri zayıftı ve bazen heyecanlandığında veya sinirlendiğinde burnu akardı. Ancak ...

  It’s Not Just About Physical Spaces: What is Liminal Space and How Does It Affect You? Liminal spaces represent a process of transformation, both physical and mental, and are therefore an important concept in many different disciplines. Let’s examine what it is! Source:  https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/general/understanding-how-liminal-space-is-different-from-other-places/ If you’re like most people, you may have noticed that there are certain places or situations where you feel off or uncomfortable. Such places can often be places such as empty bus stops and airport terminals. Often, these disturbing spaces can be described as liminal spaces. Liminal space comes from the Latin word “limen” meaning “threshold”. It may also be referred to as ‘liminality’. Such spaces often have a desolate atmosphere and are associated with an aesthetic disconnected from the concept of reality. At the same time, such places are waiting areas between one point and the next point in time and s...
