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:

    “It is not through space that I must seek my dignity, but through the management of my thought. I shall have no more if I possess worlds.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    “The present war having so long cut off all communication with Great-Britain, we are not able to make a fair estimate of the state of science in that country. The spirit in which she wages war is the only sample before our eyes, and that does not seem the legitimate offspring either of science or of civilization.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
