First of all, space is like this There’s no place to go right away We must face the truth. Sending something into space is actually incredibly simple: if you take a durable metal pipe and put enough explosives in it and a system that detonates them remotely, your rocket will go into space. This part of the job is pure physics, literally doing science by brute force.

If you’re going to do real science You need to be able to calculate where that vehicle will go, how it will go, what it will do at what stage and what it will observe. Even if you find the necessary materials, achieving your goal will not be easy. Turkiyeis not a country that is in the final stages of space studies It is still in its infancy. It is therefore not surprising that the first astronaut was “sent away”.

Let’s take a look at Japan’s work:

Japan is worth the money we spend on a single astronaut. It realizes the moon project at about double the cost. When this is the case, some people say, “If we had paid that much money, at least we should have gone to the moon ourselves.” says, but that is not the case.

JAXA, the Japan Aerospace Agency, was founded on October 1, 2003. Previously, there were three different Japanese institutions active in this field, and from the combination of these institutions JAXA was created. Or the country’s first satellite, in 1970 It was launched with its own rockets.

Japanese owned knowledge and experience unfortunately we don’t have that. We do not have the same scientific and cultural knowledge. We can illustrate this situation as follows: Let’s say OpenAI developed a custom GPT for healthcare and spent $30 million on the project. We gave $5 million and integrated the entire health care system into it. “If we had given 25 more, could we have done it ourselves?” If we say OpenAI first with investments of hundreds of millions of dollars We should have reached the point that we have reached over the years. The situation is no different here.

‘Were we in a hurry? Then we would go later.’ You may think…

There is a similar situation here, although the project “Changing the agenda and preparing for the elections” Even though he was accused of being a middleman, this project has been in development for quite some time and it has been known for a long time that the launch will take place. Turkey’s efforts to develop its own missile continue.

Alper Gezeravci’s In the scientific studies it will conduct, alloy tests for this missile will be conducted and information will be collected for this purpose. Moreover, in the process, the basic skills needed to manage our own rocket will be increased. Additionally, during the completion and initial launch of the rocket, We can benefit from the experiences We will also have an astronaut.

Moreover, the key point is that it may not be one of these.

It has been on our country’s agenda for a long time. see something nice difficult perhaps Our national women’s volleyball team Apart from these achievements, one of the few events that made our country happy for a long time was sending an astronaut into space for the first time. In such situations, we, adults and overwhelmed by reality, stand aside Let’s look to our future: children.

When children see such initiatives, they develop their sense of discovery and curiosity, which will help them focus on these areas in the future. The inspiration of scientists who made it possible to go to space Jules Verne And Journey to the moon It was the book. With this inspiration, children’s interest in science will also increase.

Anyone who wants it will be present in the markets in the coming months. to children’s magazines Look, you see a rocket on the cover of all of them. When these children grow up, they will be engineers, researchers, scientists and astronauts in our own space agency. This is how we can reach the level of contemporary civilization that our Ata pointed out.

So sometimes spent $55 million Even if it is a lot, sometimes 55 million dollars, Helping more than 20 million children dream and a price one would be willing to pay to encourage their development.
