what kind of decade was it well
increasing fears and proof of global
warming led Earthlings to look elsewhere
for signs of life so the mission to Mars
made incredible headway yeah that’s the
kind of decade it wasn’t science the
millennium started out with a
breakthrough in the world of DNA
sequencing the human genome project
completed the first working draft of the
entire human genome sequence in the year
2000 from this we’ve gained insight into
cancer the causes of aging and the
immune system in February of 2001 the
near shoemaker spacecraft finally landed
on the surface of arrows a near-earth
asteroid in July of 2001 the world’s
first artificial heart was implanted
into a 58 year old American man launched
by NASA in 2001 Mars Odyssey is a
spacecraft orbiting the planet Mars the
Odysseys mapping mission began in
February 2002 and later that year it
found evidence of ice deposits on Mars
2003 was a tough year in the history of
space exploration on februari first the
space shuttle Columbia was destroyed
upon re-entry into the Earth’s
atmosphere killing the seven-member crew
on board this catastrophe put the
construction of the International Space
Station on hold 2003 also saw one of the
great mysteries of the universe salt its
age a NASA satellite provided a detailed
map of the universe which revealed the
Big Bang took place 13.7 billion years
ago 2004 was a continuation of the
exploration of the red planet January
saw NASA’s to Mars exploration Rovers
made Spirit and Opportunity touchdown on
Mars this Mars rover missions primary
objective was to discover the history of
water on the red planet by March of 2004
major discoveries have been made
suggesting water had once flowed on Mars
also in 2004 nasa launched messenger a
spacecraft designed to study mercury
from orbit 2005 was the world year of
physics a 100 year anniversary honoring
Albert Einstein’s landmark papers of
1905 2005 was also the year that the
first partial human face transplant was
successfully completed in France
a woman whose face had been mauled by
her dog on a worldwide scale global
warming was becoming an increasingly
worrisome problem 2006 saw a study
published which showed the 20th century
featured the warmest temperatures in
well over a thousand years NASA made
public in 2006 its plans to build a
permanent base on the moon once
astronauts begin returning there in 2020
this station would act as both a science
center and a possible pit stop for
future manned missions to Mars another
planetary event came in 2006 when Pluto
was demoted from its planet status
Andrey designated a dwarf planet the
mission to Mars continued in 2007 when
the Phoenix Mars Lander was launched in
August the Phoenix was meant to continue
the investigation into the history of
water on the red planet as well as
search for environment suitable for life
Phoenix finally landed on Mars in May
2008 in June of that year it was found
that the soil on Mars is friendlier to
life than anticipated in July 2008
Phoenix confirmed the presence of water
on Mars something NASA’s Odyssey orbiter
had predicted six years earlier finally
in November Phoenix Mars Landers stopped
communicating with earth after a
successful mission the world’s largest
particle accelerator the Large Hadron
Collider conducted its first experiment
in 2008 the aim of this machine was to
answer the fundamental questions of
physics the Machine caused some
controversy when Theory suggested
particle collisions might create black
holes and basically caused the end of
the world it was deemed safe and the
experiments continued the first proton
beam was successfully guided around the
accelerator in September the first
decade of the new millennium has been a
turbulent one for the
of science however with every discovery
comes new hope for breakthroughs in
medicine space travel and physics
ultimately leading us as a human
civilization to more and more
philosophical questions about our
universe which science will always
attempt to answer
