SPACE EXPLORERS AFTER MEN LANDED ON THE MOON IN 1969, ASTRONAUTS AROUND THE WORLD HAD A PROBLEM THERE WERE NO OTHER PLACES THEY COULD GO EVEN TODAY. THE OTHER PLANETS ARE STILL TOO FAR AWAY FOR ASTRONAUTS TO FLY TO. SO, WHILE ROCKETS AND ROBOTS CAN GO TO OTHER PLANETS, MANNED FLIGHTS HAVE TO STAY CLOSER TO HOME, FOR THE TIME BEING, THEREFORE, SINCE VISITING THE MOON, MANNED SPACE PROGRAMS HAVE TRUNED THEIR ATTENTION TO SOLVING PROBLEMS RELATED TO LIVING AND WORKING IN SPACE. CURRENTLY, NASAS MANNED SPACE EXPLORATION PROGRAM FOCUSES ON THE SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAM. NASA NOW OPERATES THREE SPACES SHUTTLES, DISCOVERY, ATLANTIS AND ENDEAVOR. UNFORTUNATELY, TWO OF NASAS SHUTTLES, CHANLLENGER AND COLUMBIA, HAVE BEEN LOST THROUGH ACCIDENTS. SEVEN ASTRONAUTS DIED IN EACH ACCIDENT. SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE SHUTTLE PROGRAM, THE SHUTTLES HAVE FLOWN MORE THAN A HUNDRED MISSIONS. THESE MISSIONS HAVE INCLUDED PUTTING SATELLITES INTO ORBIT, PHOTOGRAPHING THE EARTH STUDYING SPACE, CONDUCTING EXPERIMENTS RELATED TO WORKING IN SPACE, AND CONNECTING WITH VARIOUS MANNED SPACE STATIONS IN ORBIT. THROUGHOUT THE SHORT HISTORY OF THE EXPLORATION OF SAPCE, SEVERAL SPACE HAVE BEEN UT INTO ORBIT. THE FIRST MANNED SPACE STATION WAS SOVIET STATION SALYUT 1 PUT INTO ORBIT IN 1971. LATER, IN 1986, THE SOVIET UNION LAUNCHED THE MIR SPACE STATION. MIR STAYED IN ORBIT UNTIL MARCH 23, 2001. OVER THAT TIME, 104 ASTRONAUTS VISITED THE STATION TO STAY FOR VARIOUS LENGTHS OF TIME THE PERSON WHO HAS SPENT THE LONGEST IN SPACE SO FAR IS RUSSIAN ASTRONAUT VALERI POLYAKOV. WORKING AS THE DOCTOR ABOARD THE STATION, HE LIVED ON MIR FOR 438 DAYS WITHOUT RETURNING TO EARTH IN TOTAL, POLYAKOV WORKED ABOARD MIR FOR 678 DAYS BEFORE RETIRING.
