The problem with space is the distance between things.
If the Sun was 1 meter in diameter, at their closestapproach to Earth the planets would be far away. Mercury would be about 51 meters from Earth. Venus would be about 28 meters away. Mars would be about 52 meters away. Those distances would be far enough, but when you look at the distances to the other places we might want to explore, the numbers are far worse. Jupiter would be 400 meters away. Saturn would be 953 meters away. Uranus would be 1819 meters away. Neptune would be 2906 meters away, and Pluto would be 3900 meters away. Those distances are as close as they ever get. If they are on the other side of the Sun, add another 99 meters.
Also, these objects are moving. Even if you can see them, you are seeing them only at the speed of light. For example when you look at Mars, you are seeing it where it was 14 minutes ago. So, to explore a place, you have to calculate where it will be at the moment our explorer gets out there to it. Exactly. That takes very good math. To move an object requires energy. Now you are dealing with Physics. If you are going to send a 100 kilogram object to Mars, you need less fuel than if you are going to send a 1,000 kilogram object. How much more? Ask Physics.
One example: to do space exploration you have to get from A to B. Traveling in the solar system you don't just point at the target and step on the gas. A transfer orbit is needed, and calculating orbits is a job for Physics and Math.

Space exploration was revolutionized most by the invention of the telescope Human Space Travel was revolutionized most by the V-2 rocket and Konstantin Tsiokovsky.
What kind of science is space?
astronomy is space exploration and cosmology it physics in space.
What made the space shuttle possible?

How is internet important to space exploration?
This is a lawl question.
What are the reasons for the exploration?
Space exploration is an important part of our life today. The main reasons for exploring space are:- 1) The urge to know what is out there2) By space exploration, we get to know if there is any harm from the heavens coming our way3) The sheer thrill of it
What is the important of physics in your daily living?
Literally everything that happens is because of physics. It controls time and space itself
Why was John Glenn Jr so important to American space exploration?
because he is awesome
What are the latest findings about space exploration?
latest finding about space exploration?
How did rockets improve space exploration?
a rocket improved space exploration
Why is important physics?
Without physics, cars, TV's, and electric lights would not have been invented, we would not know about space and astronomy, we would never know about forces and atoms. Physics is about all that and more, which is why it is important. Without physics, we would not have computers or the internet.
What are the importance of physics in the modern world?
To name a few, electricity, airplanes (among other forms of transportation), space exploration, architecture, product design, etc.
How does rockets aid in space exploration?
Rockets lift the astronauts into space to do their exploration.
