Space: Difference between revisions

'''Space''' was a word used to refer to two different concepts relating to the universe. One referred to [[dimension]]s; space was linked to [[time]], with space being three dimension and time the fourth. ([[DW]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child]]'')  'Space' was also defined as the [[vacuum]] in the universe, outside of a planetary body's atmosphere. This was often known as "outer space"{{fact}}.

Space was a [[vacuum]] and so a hostile environment as. Many species required a form of [[spacecraft]] to travel through space. Some species such as [[Time Lord]]s could survive for a time in the vacuum of space, though they still needed to breathe [[oxygen]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[Four to Doomsday (TV story)|Four to Doomsday]]'', ''[[The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe (TV story)|The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe]]'')

Development of the ability to travel through space was regarded as one of the first real steps species took in their planetary and species' development. The [[Time Lord]]s developed space travel when "the universe was half its present size." ([[DW]]: ''[[Genesis of the Daleks]]'') [[Human]]ity's first sojourn into exploring space began in the mid-[[20th century]] with the launch of several [[satellite]]s. ([[EDA]]: ''[[Alien Bodies]]'')

[[Kitling]]s were a species able to travel through space (and time) without any technology. ([[DW]]: ''[[Survival]]'', [[NA]]: ''[[First Frontier]]'')

Likewise, the [[Eight Legs]] could also transport themselves through space. ([[DW]]: ''[[Planet of the Spiders]]'')

[[Krynoid]] pods survived exposure to the vacuum of space by hibernating during voyages through space. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Seeds of Death]]'')

[[Wirrn]] also survived in and travelled through space. They could live without fresh air for several years, but needed to return to a planet for food or to breed. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Ark in Space]]'')

The [[Rutan Host]] could travel through space without any effects. ([[NA]]: ''[[Shakedown]]'')
