Space has fascinated humans since ancient times.
Our ancestors would have looked up at the night sky and wondered about the stars, planets, and galaxies they saw.
As technology advanced, people began to explore space in greater detail, and this has only increased our fascination with it.
Interestingly, NASA has captured some strange photographs over the years, causing some to question the origins of the universe, and the possibility of advanced life.

Frequently Asked Questions
What lessons can history teach us?
Three lessons can be learned from history. To change the world, you have to do it all yourself. Second, when you change how people live, you must ensure they're ready for it. Third, you can't change the past without changing the future.
The first lesson is that you can change the world in two ways. One is to fight for it; the other is to create it. Fighting for it is about winning, not remembering why you started fighting.
Although you cannot control the reactions of people to your ideas, you can control how they are presented. If you want to persuade someone, you'll eventually fail. If you try to convince someone to do something, you will fail.
The idea of a great movement was born when someone had it and took action. No matter whether you are creating change, or reacting to it. Here are three ways you can make your mark: Be clear about the things you want, be honest with where you came from, be courageous enough to go where no other person has gone before, and be clear about who you are.
The second lesson is that each of us has a choice. We can either wait for our lives to happen to us, or we can choose to make them happen. This means that we have to decide what kind life we want. Do we expect someone else to let us live? Or, do we want control of our destiny and take control?
We are living in a golden age, I would argue. This is a time of great opportunity, which creates a lot excitement. People feel empowered to make their own futures and that's very exciting.
It can also cause problems. It's not easy to know what you want or how to get it. Therefore, it is important to identify what you want and then find a way.
Let's say, for instance, that you are looking to buy a home. Or you could just sit back and wait for someone to give you a gift card to Home Depot. You could also ask yourself "What would you love to do?" Look for a job which allows you to do that. Apply for financing.
Now let's imagine you wanted to travel around the world. It's possible to ask, "Where do you want to travel?" Then, you'd start saving money, researching countries online, talking to friends, etc. Then, you book a trip.
Let's say that you don't have a clear idea of what you want. In this case, you'd probably end-up doing one of the things. But by asking yourself questions like this, you increase your chances of getting what you want. This may seem absurd, but it works.
The third lesson is that you can always improve your future no matter what happens. It is very simple. Your choices determine who you are and who you become.
Use history to your advantage, to learn from other people's failures and successes and to keep improving until success.
You're already behind if you don't think you have anything to offer the world. You have to believe that you're better than you thought you were.
Don't worry if you don't know where you should start. Start small, and work your way up. Consider what you have learned over the course of your life. What have you failed at? What has been your greatest success? What have you done to overcome obstacles?
Don't forget to remember that only you can limit your potential. You can accomplish anything, no matter what anyone tells you.
In the words of Benjamin Franklin, "Nothing will work unless you do."
What can we learn from history to avoid repeating past errors?
Because we keep repeating the same mistakes, history repeats itself. We make mistakes and fail to learn. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
The same old stories are what repeat history. Our culture has conditioned us to believe there is an immutable law and a fixed truth. They cannot be changed.
This prevents us thinking critically. The ability to question authority. Challenge assumptions. We can't learn if we don’t challenge our assumptions. If we don't grow we stagnate. When we stagnate we make the same mistakes again and again.
Because we make the same mistakes, history doesn't have to repeat itself. History repeats because we refuse lessons from our mistakes and continue making them over and again.
You can end the cycle of history repetition by changing the way that you view the world. By understanding that nothing is permanent, you can see the possibilities. There is no set in stone. All things are in constant flux.
The key to breaking the cycle is to embrace uncertainty. Accepting the possibility of things going wrong. To accept that we may not succeed. Accepting that failure is possible.
Accept the fact that you might not reach your goals. You can accept this, but you must continue to strive for improvement.
It's impossible to move forward if you hold onto the past. You can't move forward if your beliefs are fixed.
You must let go if you want to be free. If you want to progress, you have to give up control.
Who was the original person to have said that historical people don't learn.
As much as we would love to live in an ideal world where everyone learns from history, there is nothing more valuable than learning from our mistakes.
It's not better to try something wrong than to learn how to do it right.
The only real mistake is not trying to ensure you do it right the first time.
As long as you keep making improvements, you'll eventually understand why you made those changes.
You might find out that it was easier than you thought.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try again. That means you've learnt a lot.
Even though you cannot avoid making mistakes completely, you can minimize them. That is what will make the difference in success or failure.
Recognizing your mistakes starts at the beginning. Take a step back and look at your mistakes objectively. Then ask yourself, "What did you learn?"
If you're honest with yourself, you'll realize that your mistakes are just lessons. They're opportunities to grow.
Thomas Edison had to go through the exact same thing. He failed many times before he finally invented the light bulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he used each one as an opportunity to improve his design.
He developed the most well-known form of lighting we have today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. These are your opportunities to learn.
You can then try again.
What can we learn about Abraham Lincoln?
Abraham Lincoln stated, "I am slow learner; I am quick to forget."
He was aware of the importance to continue learning, knowing that there would be a time when he would have to relearn his old habits and adopt new ones.
This is true for our businesses as well. No matter how hard we plan for success there will be times where we run into roadblocks that cause us to get stuck in a rut.
It is crucial to continue to learn and grow. We must never stop learning, even after reaching the top of our success.
Lincoln was the right person. He understood that his business could be more successful, but he couldn’t afford to stop learning.
There are two types. There are two types: those who stay active and those who stay informed.
Those who are busy concentrate on growing their businesses. They spend their time on product development and marketing, as well as customer service.
While they might feel that they have made a significant contribution, often they are not. Entrepreneurs who aren't focused on learning more won't see sustainable growth.
What makes successful entrepreneurs different from average entrepreneurs? The ability to quickly adapt to changing circumstances.
Entrepreneurs are successful because they look for ways of improving their products and services in the face of challenges.
However, most entrepreneurs stick to old-fashioned methods that no longer work. They don't want to change until the business goes under.
To be successful, you have to master both the art and skill of self-reflection.

How To
How did propaganda become marketing success?
The term "propaganda" was first used in 1879 when German sociologist Max Weber coined the word from the Greek word "praopagos" which means "to speak well." The Latin verb "propere", meaning "nearby" and "at hand", and the noun “agogos,” meaning "speech, discourse," are the origins of the term. It is "a systematic attempt to shape attitudes and behavior."
George Orwell, a British journalist, wrote in his 1928 book, "Propaganda": "To understand propaganda's true nature, we need to realize that it does not have the intent to make people believe anything. It is only the intention of changing their beliefs...It is meant to make them accept one thing over another."
Edward Bernays (1891 – 95), who was Sigmund's nephew, and psychoanalyst. He became famous when he created the term "public relations" (1922). He said that "the conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in a democratic society." He created the public relations firm Bernays & Company in 1927. He worked there until 1955.
Bernays invented an "engineering permission" technique, which allowed him to influence public opinion through publicity and advertising campaigns. His methods were adopted later by mass media companies like Newsweek, CBS News, NBC News and Time Magazine. Bernays began to work closely with corporations, government agencies, and individuals after World War II. Johnson & Johnson (General Electric), Procter & Gamble; Coca-Cola; Ford Motor Company; U.S. Department of Defense; American Tobacco Company; DuPont, Rayonier and the United States Chamber of Commerce were just a few of his clients.
The tobacco industry was his most important client. He assisted Philip Morris in launching a campaign to stop smoking. In 1939, the Surgeon General recommended that smoking should be banned inside. The Cigarette Advertising Act was passed in 1965. It prohibited any advertisement for cigarettes in print media including newspapers and television.
He also offered advice to President Franklin D Roosevelt concerning how to deal the Great Depression's growing labor movement. Bernays suggested to the president that he declare a "war against hunger" and use the federal government's ability to ensure adequate food supplies. This strategy made the government look like a benevolent father figure and helped the president win re-election in 1936.
Bernays was a pioneer in the promotion of radio listening to increase sales. He introduced the concepts "branding" (and "advertising") in the 1930s. He believed that consumers could feel special and be influenced through appealing to their emotions. His slogan "Have You Got What It Takes?" was one example. He encouraged women to buy war bonds in 1933.
In 1944, he created a political action committee called "Young People for Freedom." The group's goal was to encourage Americans aged 18-30 to vote Republican. Dwight Eisenhower was elected president in 1952 after Bernays' efforts were successful.
In 1953, Bernays persuaded the CIA to stage a coup in Iran, replacing Mohammad Mosaddegh with Shah Reza Pahlevi. He justified the move as necessary in order to stop Mosaddegh becoming the nationalist of Iranian oilfields. Bernays wrote articles extolling the new regime in praise after the coup.
Bernays won many other awards during his career.
