We all know about the Renaissance Era - a handful of seemingly insignificant-looking old men making groundbreaking discoveries, writing world-changing books, and creating art that had never been seen before. But the rebirth of Ancient Greek and Roman culture between 1300 and 1600 CE is not the only Renaissance to have occurred on our planet. 

The New Renaissance began in the 1950s with the dawn of the Space Race. This was the rebirth of mankind's renewed desire for knowledge and understanding of the universe around us beyond theoretical calculations and observations. Space exploration has enabled mankind to fulfil this desire using advanced technology that outdoes every other sector's development in complexity, impact, and research value. 

​

This is an analysis of some of the most pivotal topics involving space exploration technology, space sciences, and astrophysics in the New Renaissance, told from the frame of reference of a young (also seemingly insignificant, yes, but passionate) space enthusiast and author.

 

Space from the perspective of the unspoken.
