There are many risks associated with exploration and charting the unknown. If we can design a space program that allows us to better understand and accept these risks, we can be better prepared for the reward of exploring new worlds and reaping the benefits of new medical and material science—knowledge that could help improve life for all humans on Earth. ---- Answer provided by Jim ...

Carl Sagan, my favorite scientist and a great popularizer of astronomy and science, once said it best-"We are third generation star stuff " He meant that two other stars lived their lives and ended their lives by spewing the atoms of creation throughout our solar nebula neighborhood, which helped the local gas cloud to gravitationally collapse and form the star we call the Sun. At one time, the ...
