Now, it is also possible that human beings go there not only see the universe.

| Blue earth. |
Words of Major Yuri Gagarin of the Soviet Union the "The earth is blue" is famous in Japan. 1960s, space exploration began in earnest in the Soviet Union. And April 12, 1961, he came to the universe for the first time in mankind. Since then, various countries have been conducting space development as a national project. Development of competition between the Soviet Union and the United States has contributed greatly to the development of science and technology. The competing technologies to each other, Neil Armstrong of the United States landed on the moon for the first time in mankind at last. But huge cost is applied to space travel these. And only scientists and military personnel I could go into space.

| Dennis Tito. |
Russian Space Agency is carrying food and personnel to the International Space Station in the liner of the Soyuz. Some people were allowed to achieve space travel and boarded at their own expense to this rocket. There currently are eight civilians who stayed in the universe in this way. April 2001, Dennis Tito is a millionaire in the United States was the pioneer. He stayed on the ISS for about a week. Russia is getting part of the money by selling seats on Soyuz public. But to go into space is dangerous still. In addition, only the very rich can go into space.

| Space Craft. Cool! |
Can't we travel in space? It is still difficult. However it is also only a matter of time. It will be realized in t
he near future if method of jump out into space for a moment. In this case, we get on the new aircraft. First, plane of large carry spacecraft to 10 005 one thousand meters altitude. Then, spacecraft separate and be launched in air. It goes to outer space in a rocket engine. The spacecraft can be landing in the same way as glider. Time we are staying in outer space would be ten minutes enough at the longest. But it does not matter. Rather, the body would be weakened if we had been a long period of time the universe. It would be happy if you look at the space of jet black and sparkle sky at any moment. Club Tourism and Virgin Galactic's are going to give such travel. They were already finished the spacecraft. Ahter flight test is finished, we also go into space. It has been said to be in 2014 or later. It is not a far longer story. The price is 250,000 US dollars. Space travel perhaps it would be the goal of life?

Nelson Mandela died on December 5. He was a great black. People all over the world are mourning him now.
Nelson was born in 1918 in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. He spent up to 1941 there. And he moved to Johannesburg City. But he was faced with the racism of that time Africa. He wanted to change the situation. And he found a cornerstone political in African National Congress. Because he was able to resist the racial discrimination in public. He was very active there. Of course, apartheid regime treated as the target of crackdown him. He had been in solitary confinement and prison many times. In 1960, African National Congress was banned. Nelson was decided to change the location of the activity. He continued the resistance to become a leader in the military organization called Umkhonto we Sizwe. He fought like a spear of the nation as well as the organization name.

| Robben Island. |
In 1962, he was arrested due to military operations. In 1964, he was sentenced to treason. And he was sentenced to life imprisonment. For 27 years, he was living as a person imprisoned. By the way, he had been imprisoned on Robben Island for 17 years, but this island is a World Heritage Site now. This is said to
be Legacy of tragedy such as Auschwitz concentration camp. Misery of racial segregation policy is handed down today. Looking back on the prison of his time, he was saying it was one trial to try their beliefs. When he talks about the old days, he had stressed that officials of apartheid and prison is not the only villain. Because he thought that each other should see a good part of each other in order for people to live in harmony. While Nelson and his associates are being held captive on the island, activists who support them had fought for their release. Nelson was able to continue to have hope, because he was able to know that such activities are being carried out. He decided to write the autobiography and announce to the world. It was supposed to be announced on his birthday in 1978. It was published in 1994 in fact .
After he was released from Robben Island, he was
an international symbol. But he was actively involved in the people and hate the trappings. He act for in democracy in South Africa. May 1994, he became president of the first democratically elected South Africa at last.
He was committed to racial problems of South Africa. He was a person with fortitude. What's important is that he had a force that is supported by a large number of people. The world will never forget him.

There is a mystery that can not be counted in the universe. I said before, the fact that it has been clarified in the universe are very few.
For example, it's existence, such as dark energy and dark matter that human beings can not be found yet. It is expected that mass and energy of all substances that we know is less than 5% of the total energy and the total mass of the universe. something 95% of the remaining should exist in theory, but they're still unidentified.

| Data of Wow! Signal. |
Sometimes scientists happen to encounter a mysterious phenomenon during the study. Wow! Signal is one of such phenomena. August 15 1977 when Jerry R. Ehman had been observing the SETI project, he observed a strong signal concentrated in a narrow frequency. It represents well the characteristics of the signal for use in interstellar communication that is expected by astronomer. Ehman was surprised in this. He print out the data of this signal, and he wrote a "Wow!" on it. There are many people who expected that this is a signal from an alien. But the identity of this signal has not yet been elucidated.
Some celestial body emits a pulse too regular. It was hard to think that it is a thing of the natural world by people. So, it has been considered to be a signal from space. Now, it has been found that celestial body, pulsar neutron star. When neutron stars rotate at a high speed, radiant energy of it is directed to the earth periodically. In other words, it's like a lighthouse floating in space.
There are other strange star. Mira is located in the Cetus is a famous star. Because this star is changing the brightness of its own greatly. It will be the star of the tenth magnitude from the star of the second magnitude. Why its brightness change? Because this star shrink and bulge periodically. The period's approximately 332 days. It is very interesting for you to observe this star.

| Growth of the Universe. |
How the universe birth is the biggest mystery of the universe. Scientists know that the Big Bang happened first. In before, what is there? Why explosion happened? There would have been nothing there. There was no space there. And there was no time. But the universe was born from nothingness. How do we think of this? It is too difficult problem for us now.
And how the universe end? Scientists know this answer probably. Universe puffy now. This bulge forever, star and star will no longer encounter. The universe will go dark again.
It was a lonely story last, but I think very interesting story is in many cases.
