โAstroMuon Kuki๐ As the old Chinese proverb says,the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.The journey to the space starts with the very first rocket๐ History reveals that scientific revolutions come in waves,often stimulated by advances in physics. In the nineteenth century,the first wave of science and technology was made possible by physicists who created the theory of mechanics and thermodynamics.This enabled engineers to produce the steam engine,leading to the locomotive and the industrial revolution. In the twentieth century,the second wave was spearheaded by physicists who mastered the laws of electricity and magnetism,which in turn ushered in the electric age. This made possible the electrification of our cities with the advent of dynamos,generators,TV, radio,and radar.The second wave gave birth to the modern space program,which took us to the moon. In the twenty-first century,the third wave of science has been expressed in high tech,spearheaded by t...
