Abstract

This year we celebrate thirty years"anniversary of the cosmic era that dates back to launching the first man-made Earth satellite in the Soviet Union. Space exploration had a considerable impact on science and technology, as well as on many spheres of human activity, promoting their development, At the same time breaking into space and the growth of its development scale led to new ideas concerning philosophical comprehension of the human role in the world and elucidated new ways of the humanity's future, as well as its cosmic direction of development.
