We Are All Explorers

Since its beginning 240 years ago, the United States has been the Exploration Nation. For the past fifty-plus years, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has led the exploration of the worlds of the Solar System. Now the internet age allows citizens to participate in that exploration, from just enjoying the views to processing the pictures, to doing “citizen science.”
