The Development of Space Travel

Can you imagine why space travel is so spectacular? Robert Goddard is a wonderful person behind all of these. Many people were surprised when he was announcing the launch of the first rocket using liquid oxygen and gasoline and ready to launch. On March 16, 1926, on a farm of Goddard aunt in Auburn, Massachusetts, we witnessed the first rocket many people launched in space. The rocket moved at 65 miles per hour for 2.5 hours, then flew 41 feet in the air and then landed 184 feet.

The last major area of ​​exploration, along with the development of space travel, was in the late 20th century. Moved by the increase in hostility between the United States and the Soviet Union, thousands of scientists have come out of the earth for a new generation of explorers and have visited a world that none or even touched human beings It was. To date, one of the most important moments of world history is Yuri Gagarin 's first space flight and Neil Armstrong' s famous lunar landing. I hope that future science will allow us to further explore distant planets of the solar system in the future.

Space Travel is an early video game developed by Ken Thompson in 1969 and simulates movement of the solar system. The player skips their spacecraft around the 2 dimensional scale model of the solar system, which has no target other than trying to land on various planets and satellites. Players can move the boat to rotate and adjust the overall speed by adjusting the scale of the simulation. This ship is affected by the strongest gravity of the celestial bodies. The game was developed at Bell Laboratories before the rise of the early commercial video game industry of video games. It was ported to the GECOS operating system of the GE 635 computer from the Multics operating system in 1969 and then ported to the PDP - 7 computer (above). As part of porting games to PDP - 7, Thompson developed its own operating system. It was later the core of the Unix operating system.
