Space travel

A space shuttle traveling in space[1]

Space travel refers to traveling through outer space. There are many alien races throughout the galaxy and beyond that have the ability to travel through space, usually by using spaceships, propelled by rockets, warp engines or traveling through Hyperspace. The New Gods possess a technology that allows them to teleport through space without the aid of a space ship. This technology is called a Stargate. When Krypton still existed, space travel was illegal, and considered a crime, due to an incident that occurred when a certain scientist named Jax-Ur stranded members of the Kryptonian Science Council in space. Space travel is available to multiple cultures including our own home Earth. This is a list of worlds who are inhabited by races that are capable of space travel...

Earth

On Earth, space travel is still in its' infancy, and for the most part, the human race is mostly bound to Earth, and even most astronauts haven't gone far beyond the solar system. The first ship in space was the unmanned Sputnik, which was launched by the Soviet Union in 1957. This is a history of space travel on Earth.

History of space travel on Earth

NASA

In 1966, NASA sent a chimpanzee named Toto up into outer space as an experiment in space travel. It was bombarded by Kryptonite radiation and when it landed, it grown to the size of a giant.

The Apollo Program
Apollo15

The Apollo program from NASA was mandkind's first attempt to land humans on the moon. The project was started after the then President of the United States John F. Kennedy proposed the goal of "landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth." The project was successful with its' Apollo 11 mission, in which Neal Armstrong landed on the moon. Apollo 15 was considered the most successful space project ever achieved.

Ferris Aircraft

Ferris Aircraft is a aircraft company that has designed flying ships ranging from airplanes to spaceships. They too have had successful missions. One mission was when they sent a crew to the planet Venus. This was the first manned mission to Venus, and it was also two years ahead of the first mission to the Moon, which was accomplished by NASA. This should obviously be considered an incredible feat, since even though Venus is farther away than the Moon, Ferris Aircraft still managed to beat NASA's Apollo program to a point in space that was even more far reaching then the moon, before NASA even reached the moon. This company also designed ships and sent them on missions to fly toward the Sargasso planetoid.

Missions to Mars

There have been multiple manned-missions to the planet Mars.[2] There was the First Manned-Mission to Mars, and also the Intrepid was scheduled for a mission to Mars. There were even bases established on Mars.

Justice League of America

The Justice League possess a wide variety of flying machines that can travel through space. Batman has a Bat-Rocket which has a warp engine which can allow it to travel faster than the speed of light. Wonder Woman's invisible jet can also fly through space at faster than light speeds, and Superman's Supermobile can do likewise. Superman and Green Lantern, and a few other Justice Leaguers, can also fly through space without space ships, as they have the ability of Flight, which allows them to do so without the aid of a space ship.

Krypton

Before Krypton was destroyed, the Kryptonians were a space faring race. But when Jax-Ur stranded the Science Council in space, space travel was made illegal, and anyone involved in the construction of space ships or spaceflight would thus be considered a criminal. Jor-El broke this law however, when he sent his son Kal-El into space to save him from the destruction of his home planet, and sent him to Earth. The Kryptonian's law against space travel was ultimately their undoing, because when Krypton exploded, there was no way for them to get off-world.

New Gods

The New Gods of New Genesis and Apokolips have a technology called a Stargate, which is a portal that opens a doorway to anywhere in the known universe, or possibly even other universes within the multiverse. They also possess large space armadas of ships.

Thanagar

The natives of the planet Thanagar were also a space faring race. The Wingmen of Thanagar had space ships that were capable of traveling faster than the speed of light, which were called Thanagarian Star Cruisers. Hawkman has one such ship which is called the Hawkship.
