From 600 to 1500 AD the Claudius Ptolemy explanation of what
was happening in the sky was accepted. Earth was center with Stars,
Sun, Planets, and Moon circling. Then came Nicolas Copernicus who
published his lifes studies in 1543. The Sun stood stationary, the
Planets orbited. And Space was much larger than the Solar system.
Copernicus died at age 70 Then came Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton,
Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler. Tycho advanced observational
accuracy. and built the worlds largest observatory. Galileo
introduced the telescope and championed Copernicus findings. Isaac
Newton was born 1642, the year Galileo died. His Law of universal
gravitation merged Earth and Space sciences. Johannes Kepler

Chinas first Imperial Observatory in Beijings Forbidden City
where Jesuit Astronomer Ferdinand Verbiest (1623-1688) added
instruments Perfected by Tycho Brahe Tycho Brahe (1546 - 1601)
developed positional astronomy of stars, planets and comets and
built his Observatory on Uraniburg Island, Denmark

YOUNG ASTRONOMER AND MATHEMATICIAN JOHANNES KEPLER (1571 1630),
was charged in 1600 to analyze Tycho Brahs data and to fully
describe the planetary orbits. Tycho died in 1601. Kepler created
his solid model of the Solar System and published it in his
Mysterium Cosmographicum: KEPLERS THREE LAWS OF PLANETARY MOTION:
First Law: All planets move in ellipses, with the Sun at one focus.
(1605) Second Law: Planets sweep out equal areas in equal times.
(1602) Third Law: The square of the periodic times are to each
other as the cubes of the mean distances. (1620) Johannes
Kepler

The Kepler Telescope was launched on 7 March 2009. Its mission
is to be a NASA Space observatory designed to discover Earth-like
planets orbiting other stars. The first six weeks of data revealed
five previously unknown planets, all very close to their stars.
September 2010 Kepler had found 700 planet candidates and
documented nine confirmed planets.

Space offers unbounded resources to meet human needs * NOTE:
Space resources have been known for decades. The KSU Founders
formulated this law in 2008.

Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking called for an era of Space
conquest stating; Spreading out into Space will have an even
greater effect than Christopher Columbus discovery of the New
World. It will completely change the future of the human race and
maybe determine whether we have any future at all 21 April
