Imagine for a moment if all the nations of the world competed with each other in space exploration as we compete in military prowess where the humankind would be today.
It is intriguing how this is evolving and impacting our lives.
I try to blog about science and NASA developments on my website, one for referencing back when you are writing something or researching, and two to share with everyone.
