Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Space Exploration & Satellites on Our World in Data, published by EdMathieu on June 14, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. We just launched a new collection of charts on Space Exploration and Satellites on Our World in Data. We plan to expand this in the future – with more data, and more text to present it – but in the meantime, you can explore the following charts: Annual budget of NASA Annual number of human visits to space Cumulative number of human visits to space Annual number of objects launched into outer space Cumulative number of objects launched into outer space Cost of space launches to low Earth orbit Cumulative number of exoplanets discovered, by method Cumulative number of people who have been to space Largest confirmed impact craters on Earth by diameter Near-Earth asteroids discovered over time Number of objects in low Earth orbit, by type Number of objects in space, by orbit Thanks for listening.
