Spaceflight - the use of space technology to fly a spacecraft into and through outer space. Ways of doing this include: * Human spaceflight * Interplanetary spaceflight * Interstellar travel * Intergalactic travel You can also move in space through the magic that can be used as a one of the above principles and to work in a completely different laws.

  • Spaceflight is the use of space technology to fly a spacecraft into and through outer space.
  • Some of the first spaceflight-related sets were already released during the 1970s, 358 Rocket Base (1973) and 367 Moon Landing (1975). These early sets did not include any minifigures yet but were relatively close to reality. After a short hiatus spaceflight was brought back to the LEGO universe with a short-lived revival of the Space theme in the form of Life on Mars. This line was somewhat of a mix of the more realistic Town subthemes and the highly fictional older Space subthemes. While the vehicles looked partially realistic, there were also green aliens.
  • Space Shuttle ' Spaceflight (also written space flight) is ballistic flight into or through outer space. Spaceflight can occur with spacecraft with or without humans on board. Examples of human spaceflight include the U.S. Apollo Moon landing and Space Shuttle programs and the Russian Soyuz program, as well as the ongoing International Space Station. Examples of unmanned spaceflight include space probes that leave Earth orbit, as well as satellites in orbit around Earth, such as communications satellites. These operate either by telerobotic control or are fully autonomous. __TOC__
  • Warp-capable civilizations, such as the Federation or the Klingon Empire, were capable of interstellar spaceflight, and in fact both superpowers were interstellar nations. While underground on Minara II, Doctor Leonard McCoy made the comment that living so far underground wasn't natural. Captain James Kirk then stated "And space travel is?" (TOS: "The Empath" ) According to certain reports, the Sarpeidon natives did not possess spaceflight capabilities, which is why the crew of the USS Enterprise was surprised to find that their homeworld had been evacuated. (TOS: "All Our Yesterdays" )

(TOS: "All Our Yesterdays" ) In 2285, while Spock's katra inhabited his body, giving him the appearance of madness, Doctor McCoy was attempting to charter a spaceflight to the Genesis Planet at a bar in San Francisco. When a Federation Security agent overheard his conversation, he offered to give the doctor a ride home. Dr. McCoy did not see the logic in such an offer, since he was trying to charter a spaceflight.

  • Some of the first spaceflight-related sets were already released during the 1970s, 358 Rocket Base (1973) and 367 Moon Landing (1975). These early sets did not include any minifigures yet but were relatively close to reality. The first minifigure-compatible sets involving spaceflight were introduced in 1978 as part of the Space theme which focused more on the science fiction aspect of the subject. A more realistic approach was taken in 1990 when the Town set 1682 Space Shuttle that included a NASA space shuttle with launch pad was released. A larger subtheme focusing on real-world spaceflight followed in 1995 with Launch Command. Its successor from 1999, Space Port veered of into more fictional territory by introducing less realistic space craft. During this interlude of spaceflight in the Town theme, the Space theme saw regular releases until 1999. Lastly featuring the first space aliens of LEGO, starting with UFO in 1997. After a short hiatus spaceflight was brought back to the LEGO universe with a short-lived revival of the Space theme in the form of Life on Mars. This line was somewhat of a mix of the more realistic Town subthemes and the highly fictional older Space subthemes. While the vehicles looked partially realistic, there were also green aliens. In 2003, the Discovery line brought several sets modeled after real-world spacecraft of the NASA. In various differing scales and mostly without any minifigures, except in the set 10029 Lunar Lander. The next spaceflight related sets were not seen until 2007, when Mars Mission was introduced, which was similar to Life on Mars in both setting and color scheme, albeit clearly on the science fiction side of spaceflight. In 2009 this theme was succeeded by third Space Police theme of LEGO, which featured once again a science-fiction setting with aliens.

Examples of unmanned spaceflight include space probes that leave Earth orbit, as well as satellites in orbit around Earth, such as communications satellites. These operate either by telerobotic control or are fully autonomous. Spaceflight is used in space exploration, and also in commercial activities like space tourism and satellite telecommunications. Additional non-commercial uses of spaceflight include space observatories, reconnaissance satellites and other Earth observation satellites. A spaceflight typically begins with a rocket launch, which provides the initial thrust to overcome the force of gravity and propels the spacecraft from the surface of the Earth. Once in space, the motion of a spacecraft—both when unpropelled and when under propulsion—is covered by the area of study called astrodynamics. Some spacecraft remain in space indefinitely, some disintegrate during atmospheric reentry, and others reach a planetary or lunar surface for landing or impact. __TOC__
