🕰️ History of Aerospace Engineering

🌍 Humans have been curious about the sky for centuries. The earliest celestial observations were made by the Egyptians and Babylonians.

🔭 In 1609, Galileo observed the Moon using the first telescope.

🚀 In 1957, Sputnik 1 became the first artificial satellite launched into space (Soviet Union).

👨‍🚀 In 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human to walk on the Moon (Apollo 11).

🇹🇷 Türkiye Space Agency (TUA) was established in 2018. Space projects in Türkiye have gained momentum.

🎓 Today, universities offer aerospace engineering programs. Students learn both design and the science of space.
