I believe that space activities are impacting society by providing the opportunity for humanity to dream and explore. Space activities for the last four decades have influenced the lives of generations of individuals. Whether they were alive to witness Sputnik, the launch of the first person in space, or Apollo 11 as man walked on the moon for the first time, it influenced their ideas about what is possible. Or if they grew up after these significant first events, they grew up in a world that knew beyond a doubt that everything is possible. If humanity could send a man to the moon then we can do anything that we dream. Society was given the opportunity to dream and to explore again. Space has become a cooperative effort bring together continents and forming ties between countries. As space activities provide global information and instantaneous communication, humanity discovers connectedness and the benefit of working together towards common goals. Space is not the activity of one small group of people, one company, one nation; it is the dream of humanity as a whole. Society and humanity join together to explore Earth, the solar system, and the universe beyond.
