Space exploration gave moments of hope in a difficult year. Three countries sent spacecraft toward Mars in 2020. Astronauts launched into orbit from the United States for the first time in nearly 10 years. And robotic explorers collected rocks from the Moon and from an asteroid. Expectations are high for 2021 also. Next February, landings are expected on Mars and the planned launch of the James Webb Space Telescope is to take place in the autumn. The huge telescope is taking the place of the famous Hubble Space Telescope. Other developments are expected too. The aerospace company Boeing hopes to catch up with SpaceX in launching astronauts. And space tourism may finally get off the ground.
