Space Science

The term space science may mean:

  • The study of issues specifically related to space travel and space exploration, including space medicine.
  • Science performed in outer space (see space research).
  • The study of everything in outer space; this is sometimes called astronomy, but more recently astronomy can also be regarded as a division of broader space science, which has grown to include other related fields.

Famous quotes containing the words space and/or science:

    “Time in his little cinema of the heart
    Giving a première to Hate and Pain;
    And Space urbanely keeping us apart.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Magic is akin to science in that it always has a definite aim intimately associated with human instincts, needs, and pursuits. The magic art is directed towards the attainment of practical aims. Like other arts and crafts, it is also governed by a theory, by a system of principles which dictate the manner in which the act has to be performed in order to be effective.”
    —Bronislaw Malinowski (1984–1942)
