There have been 415 crewed missions to space. We made a poster of all of them.

1 /
The first crewed space missions, famously, began with the Russian (then Soviet Union) Vostek Program, and the US Mercury Program...

2 /
...leading to the “space race’ of the 1960s, which culminated with the US’s Apollo program successfully traveling the 238,900 mi to the moon, and setting foot on it’s surface. The Apollo program would do this 5 more times, lastlywith the Apollo 17 in 1972.

3 /
In the decades after the Apollo program, hundreds of crewed missions journeyed past Earth’s atmosphere to the astounding engineering marvels of the space stations Salyut, Skylab, Mir, Tiangong, and the International Space Station.

4 /
Incredibly innovative technology has made this all possible, like the legendary Saturn V rocket, which launched the Apollo mission, and the iconic Space Shuttle...

5 /
...and the spacesuits which have captured the imaginations of kids and adults alike for decades, from the original SK-1 Soviet space suit, to the A7L of the Apollo missions, to the Artemis suit.

6 /
We’re entering a new era of crewed space travel, with innovative private companies such as Space X and Blue Origin, and new triumphs by NASA, like the Artemis II mission, which used the SLR rocket and Orion MPCV capsule to achieve the first crewed lunar flyby since the Apollo 17 in 1972

Are organisms genuine agents, or just very sophisticated robots? Biologists have debated this for decades. Now, they're asking where AI fits in.

Alan Love, philosopher and professor at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, argues that biology offers a more careful way to think about goal-directed behavior, function, and, eventually, machine intelligence.
