The Space Race Infographic puts our entire solar system one chart. There is still much that mankind does not know about the universe, and the further and further one scrolls along this chart, the more they question what is out there.
The top of the chart is filled with information about the farthest an airplane, skydiver, and manned vessel have gone into space. As the infographic continues on it becomes mainly filled with a squiggly line to represent massive distances. The chart flies by all of the planets in solar system, the asteroid belt, and continues on until it stops at the edge of our solar system. This far out in space measures 12.6 billion miles.
