Humans have always gazed up at the stars. For thousands of years, we thought they were as close as the Sun and the Moon. But now, we know just how vast the universe is. The closest star is about 25 trillion miles away.
The first people who journey to the stars will be venturing into the absolute unknown, and, perhaps for the first time, traveling faster than light.
Around the world scientists are testing new technologies and probing deep into the heart of physics to find a way for us to escape our island Earth.
Our hopes to explore this final frontier will never be dimmed, and one day we will reach it. Because what man can imagine, man can do.
