Planetary Exploration Timelines Humans have been exploring space ever since they first noticed the wandering planets moving against the background of fixed stars. Since then, discoveries about the planets have stimulated further research, the development of new technologies, and the ability to launch into space. The planets have also stimulated human creativity, with the planets entering popular culture as the home of alien civilizations. These timelines were originally compiled by A. J. S. Rayl, Melanie Melton, and Emily Lakdawalla, and were revised and expanded by Courtney Dressing.
