[1] From the dawn of civilization, mankind has looked
toward the stars and wondered. The idea of travel beyond one’s
own limited boundary is a concept as old as, well to use an old
[4] cliché, as old as time itself. Have you not thought yourself a
time or two or many, what it would be like to travel through
space? I personally believe that almost everyone on the planet
[7] has had this thought. And the dream will remain, as long as
mankind can produce rational thought.
Will there be space travel from star to star in the near
[10] future? No, that kind of ability is many years and quite possibly
a century or two away. But we can always dream and build and
challenge our way in that direction.
[13] And as we begin the 21st century, we enter a new arena
of space travel. That of commercial space flight enterprise. The
era of government control and big budget efforts, when only a
[16] select few can fly into space, is coming to an end. Private
companies are throwing their hats into the ring to design and
manufacture smaller and cheaper spaceships that can take the
[19] common man on a sub orbital or even orbital flight.

government control over journey into space has come to an end.
One of the main events in recent mankind history is the foundation of the United Nations Organization (UNO/UN). Among its outstanding missions is its commitment to avoid war between nations.
United Nations peacekeeping is a unique and dynamic instrument developed by the Organization as a way to help countries torn by conflict and create the conditions for lasting peace. The first UN peacekeeping mission was established in 1948, when the Security Council authorized the deployment of UN military observers to the Middle East to monitor the Armistice Agreement between Israel and its Arab neighbours. Since then, there have been a total of 64 UN peacekeeping operations around the world.
The term peacekeeping is not found in the United Nations Charter and defies simple definition. Dag Hammarskjöld, the second UN Secretary-General, referred to it as belonging to Chapter Six and a Half of the Charter, placing it between traditional methods of resolving disputes peacefully, such as negotiation and mediation under Chapter VI, and more forceful action as authorized under Chapter VII.
Over the years, UN peacekeeping has evolved to meet the demands of different conflicts and a changing political landscape. The missions consisted of military observers and lightly armed troops with monitoring, reporting and confidence-building roles in support of ceasefires and limited peace agreements. The Brazilian role in Haiti is a worth mentioning example of a peace-making mission.
