                     Now and Then Reflection     

     Space exploration now and exploration in the 15th and 16th centries are very much alike. Many of the motives are almost the same. Some motives are that people want money and want to become famous. Other motives were that people wanted to increase knowledge and find new places. Also people want to find new resources. Reasons why space exploration and exploration in the 15th and 16th centry are becasue it costs a lot of money to go into space now and to explore places in the 15th and 16th centries. Many people got hurt in both kinds of explorations. Also because in both explorations the place that the explorers are at are unfamiliar and they didnt know much about the place. Lastly, becasue both explorations take risks. One of the differences in space exploration now and the 15th and 16th centrey exploration is that the technology is different becasue we have much more technology so that we can make exploration a little bit easier now.
