The Explorers

The Portuguese began the colonisation of new found land in the 1400s.

Portugal was a leading European power, ranking with England, France and Spain in terms of economic, political, and cultural influence.



Today 500 years later, a new wave of exploration has begun. Not by sea this time.

Space exploration.

It is the beginning of a new era in space exploration where the US and Russia will build the capabilities to send humans deeper into space.

How will it be in 500 years time ?



Will humanity be prepared for the greatest discoveries of the history of our civilization?

Will we find other intelligent civilizations far older and incredibly superior than our technological capabilities and collective wisdom?
