1 -It is very important to know about space because it is part of the universe.

2 -Because they want to improve their knowledge and to become more powerful than other countries.

3 -So far, scientists have not found life on other planets. There are no human beings, animals, or plants on other planets.

4 -Yes, It may be possible for them to live on other planets in future.

5 -The sun and the planets that move around it are called the solar system.

6 -It is a laboratory in space that people can live in for long periods of time.

1. Yes, because he was probably the first person to use the telescope to study the sky.

2. Because, it is probably difficult to send spacecrafts to long term missions, and it is difficult to keep human beings safe in the space. Since there is no human being in a space probe, it is easier and cheaper to launch space probes rather than spacecrafts.

3. It may offer many things such as new discoveries, new resources and better places to live.

a: A space probe is a robot vehicle used to explore deep space.

b: A satellite is any natural body, like the moon, or any artificial object that orbits another object.

c: A telescope is an instrument that magnifies, or makes larger, distant objects.

As an examples, we can refer to the Voyager I and Voyager II which were launched in 1977. Other early space probes included Viking I and Viking II which landed on Mars in 1976, and the Pioneer probes, which used instruments to see through thick clouds that cover Venus.

1. They mean "with the aim that".

2. They show the purpose or intention of doing something.

3. In sentence 1 the verb tense is present continuous whereas in sentences 2 and 3 the verbs are in past tense. Therefore, in sentence 1 we have so that + will + bare infinitive, but in sentences 2 and 3 could and would + bare infinitive have been used.

 Part 1 :              1. Space exploration is the use of space travel in order to/to discover the universe beyond the Earth.

2. Missions have to be carefully designed so that astronauts will be kept safe from take off to landing.

3. Today the world's space agencies try to organize robotic missions to/in order to make space exploration cheaper.

4. The first thing to do was to develop powerful rockets to put a satellite into orbit.

5. These rockets needed both force and guidance systems so that they could be directed to reach their orbits.

Part 2:          2. I get up early everyday to get to school on time.

3. He went to Canada to continue his studies.
