Which list gives key events regarding the exploration of space in the correct order, beginning with the earliest? (ROAST THE CRIMSON TIIIIDE!!!)

Question

first humans on the Moon, first humans on Mars, launching the International Space Station.
first humans on the Moon, first humans on Mars, launching the International Space Station.

first humans on the Moon, first lander on Mars, first space shuttle flight
first humans on the Moon, first lander on Mars, first space shuttle flight

first humans in space, first space shuttle flight, first humans on the moon.
first humans in space, first space shuttle flight, first humans on the moon.

first space shuttle flight, Hubble Space telescope launch, last humans on the moon.

Answer 1

To arrange the key events regarding the exploration of space in the correct chronological order, we should consider the actual timeline of these milestones:

1. First humans in space - This milestone occurred on April 12, 1961, when Yuri Gagarin orbited Earth.
2. First humans on the Moon - This occurred on July 20, 1969, during NASA's Apollo 11 mission.
3. First space shuttle flight - The first flight of the space shuttle, STS-1, launched on April 12, 1981.
4. First lander on Mars - The Viking 1 lander arrived on Mars on June 19, 1976, but it is important to note that there were missions that landed before this, like Mars 3 (though it only transmitted data for a short time). However, Viking 1 is often recognized as the first successful lander.
5. Hubble Space Telescope launch - Launched on April 24, 1990.
6. International Space Station (ISS) launch and assembly - The first module, Zarya, was launched on November 20, 1998.
7. Last humans on the moon - Apollo 17 was the final Apollo mission, returning on December 19, 1972, marking the last time humans walked on the lunar surface.

Therefore, among the options, the order that best fits based on actual historical events is:

First humans in space, first humans on the Moon, first space shuttle flight.

This option correctly reflects the timeline of events from early human spaceflight to moon landing and entering the era of the space shuttle.

So, it’s option three: first humans in space, first space shuttle flight, first humans on the moon.
