Today’s FamSite is one that, when you first hear its name, will make you think of a Tim Allen movie. But closer inspection will show that is has the same subject matter, but is more educational and entertaining.
The name of the site is called Planet Quest, and while the majority of earthlings contemplate day-to-day life, the brainiacs at NASA and JPL are hot on the trail for elusive Earth-like exoplanets. This is a serious hunt for another Earth — entailing light-seeking interferometers, interstellar telescopic wizardry, massive budgets, and a molten core of scientific passion that aims to rejuvenate the sometimes questionable space program. It’s pretty heady stuff. But with our deepest fantasies and perhaps future
survival at stake, this incredible undertaking could very well
launch humanity into a new age (and solar system).
So strap yourself into your rocket chair, and prepare for some exciting web surfing. Enjoy your stop here today, and come back tomorrow for another fun site to visit.
