In other words, the tensions of imminent war and catastrophic destruction had actually led to quicker scientific and engineering advancements for the sake of exploring and travelling space.Įarly forms of rocket development (the earliest stages of space ships) can be dated as early as 400 BC, with the Greek inventor named Archytas flying a “wooden pigeon” using steam and a winged, wooden model connected to a string line, but the advanced development of rockets for the purpose of warfare started primarily during World War II. Many of these technological developments were catalyzed by the tensions of the Cold War era, and if not for the tensions between the USSR and the United States in the late 1940s and through the “Space Race” era in the early 1970s, there would most likely not be as many or as advanced space travel technologies as there are today. ![]() It has only been within the last century that the human race has developed the technologies that allow for space exploration, a drastic change from the ancient methods of speculating and theorizing what is in space and how space actually works outside of our home environment. A Brief History of the Development of Space Warfareįor thousands of years, humans have only been capable of imagining what lies beyond the sky and among the stars.
