Since the advent of human space flight in the late 1950s, more than 200 people have flown in space, from sub-orbital flights and the Apollo missions to the Moon, to space stations Skylab, Soyuz, and the International Space Station. Even tourists are beginning to travel to space. As technology advances, human interplanetary missions are seen as the next steps for space exploration, with Mars as the first target.
