The last part of this century will be an age of space exploration such as man has never known. There are eight planets, at least thirty moons, and thousands of small stars to be explored. Their total area is about 250 times that of the earth. Spaceships will not be able to land on some of them. But that still leaves to be explored an area ten times as great as the continents of the earth.
Exploring space may seem terrifying to some people. No doubts explorers of the past were terrified by the great empty oceans that lay before them. They conquered their fears, crossed the oceans, and built the new world.
In the past when explorers set sail into the unknown, they had to say goodbye to everyone they knew at home. Space explorers will not face such great loneliness. Even when they travel far away from the earth, they will be able to send messages back.

D. H. Lawrence was born in a working class family in 1885 when England was at the full development of its industry. His father was a coal-miner, so they knew what it was like to be poor. But her mother struggled hard to help her children get better than their father. Lawrence became a teacher, and so escaped the mining world of his father. But he never forgot it. He wrote many stories about the miner’s family, including his most famous novel “Sons and Lovers”, which is a portrait of Lawrence’s own life. Many of his stories and novels are on men who work down the mines.
