Space is endless and unbelievably interesting! Within our own solar system alone, there is so much to explore. We hardly know anything about our own planet; statistically, we know more about outer space than the floor of our own ocean. We know hardly anything about any of the other planets in our solar system; what their atmospheres are made of, if any of them harbor life, how old they are, what they're made of. Our sun is a mystery in itself too; the asteroid belt is full of millions of space particles that contain valuable information about the history of the universe. There's also an infinite amount of experiments to do concerning earth-based things in space; tons of potential cures for deadly diseases and opportunities for new inventions.

The stars are endless. There are so many that a pinhead held at arms length would cover billions of stars (not visible to the naked eye). Consider how many there must be in the universe! And then to think, many stars are actually whole galaxies. That means another trillion stars we can't even see on top of that. Every star probably has a dozen or so planets around it.

The numbers make a person feel so small. I don't think we're ever going to run out of things to study in outer space. Not for a long time.
