If yes, we thank in advance the moderation to do this operation. There is a need for developing new technologies that will be both cheap to the taxpayers and friendly to the environment.Maybe this announcement would have been better placed in the 'software' forum. Unlike before, when moon landings were a source of pride for many, todayвЂ™s fiscal problems and environmental concerns are causing many people to question the wisdom of launching probes into space. It took clear images of the moon before crashing into it as planned. The European Space Agency (ESA) drove by the moon in 2003 with the SMART-1. The Chandraayan 2 was launched on July 22, 2019. India has already successfully launched a probe to the moon that crashed on March 1, 2009, after its launch on October 22, 2008. The second lunar orbit called ChangвЂ™e-3 managed to land a rover on the surface of the moon. The orbit completed its 16-month mission and crashed on March 1, 2009. ChinaД¬hina has also launched two lunar orbiters to the moon, the first one being on October 24, 2007, and it was called the ChangвЂ™e-1. The Hiten probe was launched on January 24, 1990, and crashed on April 10, 1993, while the Selene orbiter was launched September 14, 2007, and crashed on June 10, 2009. Japan launched two probes, the Hiten and Selene, that both orbited the moon before crashing on its surface as planned. Japan recovered quickly from the ashes of the Second World War and soon sent a space probe to the moon. Information about the tests and launches were revealed after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. These lunar missions were unmanned and were conducted from 1958 to 1976. Later, the USSR also sent missions to the moon. Yuri Gagarin from the USSR became the first human to journey into outer space. Tests were conducted in secrecy to avoid any leakage of plans that would reach the west. The USSRДuring the Cold War period, the USSR also conducted several space explorations. The US has launched further probes to the moon with the latest being on September 7, 2013, where the LADEE probe mission began and ended on April 18, 2014. Before this achievement, there were unmanned probes that were sent to the moon to conduct scientific studies. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) carried out famous moon landings including the one in 1969 that took the first human, Neil Armstrong, to the moon. However, Russia (the USSR), Japan, China, the European Space Agency, and India have all made visits to the moon via probes. The United States is the only country to have ever put people on the moon. There is also a very high chance that things could go wrong as accidents do happen like the Challenger Disaster of 1986 and the Columbia Space Shuttle Explosion in 2003. Vast amounts of money are used in the research, development, and launching of probes into space as well as when training astronauts. Space exploration is an expensive and risky affair, even with the modern-day advances in technology.
