The last and final unit was surely an interesting one. Not only was it about the origin of space and how our understanding of it has developed since the Renaissance, but it also intersects with nanotechnology, robotics, and biotechnology. It all makes sense how everything is all connected in some way just like humans. Our understanding of space by society was extremely primitive prior to the Renaissance era and only really began to develop within the last 60 years during space and technology race between the United States and the USSR. When American astronauts landed on the moon in 1969 that really set off the international test to explore space and discover something unknown to mankind.
This is really where the art comes into play because to this day scientists, astrologists, meteorologists, etc do not even understand the vastness of space let alone the climate or inhabitants on these terrestrial planets and stars. Thus, artists take space to their own interpretation and creative edge. Movies such as Star Wars, Interstellar, The Martian, and Gravity, yes are all based in space, yet each one is so different in its description, setting and how people act in this supposedly same environment.
NASA's moon missions are super interesting. In their, Explore Moon to Mars project they said "the moon is a treasure chest". They are conducting this misison with Commerical Lunar Payload Services (totaling to $2.6 million dollars by 10 years) in order to pave the way for NASA astronauts to land on the moon in 2024.
