50 Years of Space Exploration Infographic

sshot4d8215f49b65a.jpg

We’ve sent over 200 missions out into space to check out the Moon, the Sun, planets, and more. Curious where they all went? Check out this awesome infographic to trace the launches to their destination.

The infographic includes all international missions including visits to the Sun, observation orbits around the Earth, the Moon, other planets in our solar system, visits to asteroids, and the adventures of deep space probes like Voyager 1.

The official image at National Geographic is trapped inside a clunky viewfinder style image viewer. If you want to look at the whole thing more comfortably or use it for desktop wallpaper, make sure to visit the full size image at Simple Complexity here.
