But, even with these limitations, the first mobile phone was a big step forward. It
showed that we could talk on the phone without being tied to a wire. This was a big deal

booth.

messages, take pictures, and even use them like a computer.

Space conquest is incredibly important for many reasons. It's like exploring a big,
mysterious book, and we're just starting to read the first pages. This adventure helps us
learn more about our universe and Earth.

6
Ms. Phạm Hà Minh

First, we discover how our planet works. Space missions study our environment,
weather, and climate. This information helps us predict and understand things like storms
and changes in temperature. We can also learn about pollution and how to protect our
Earth.
Second, space exploration can make our lives better. For example, we use
satellites to have better GPS, which helps us find our way around. We also get new
medicines and technologies from space research. These inventions make our lives
healthier and more comfortable.
Third, space exploration helps us dream and be creative. It inspires kids to become
scientists, engineers, and astronauts. This means we'll have smart people to solve
problems on Earth and in space.
Finally, space conquest helps us find new planets and maybe even new places to
live. Our Earth is the only home we have, but it's important to have a backup plan just in
case.
In conclusion, space conquest is not just about going to other planets. It's about
learning, improving our lives, and making our world a better place. We should keep
exploring the universe and see what amazing things we can discover. So, let's keep
reading the book of space, one page at a time, and make our world and future even
brighter.
