The Planetary Society
This past weekend the family and I happened upon the headquarters for the The Planetary Society - an organization founded by Carl Sagan, Bruce Murray, and Louis Friedman in 1980 to advocate the exploration of Space. Today, Bill Nye, Dr Jim Bell, and so many others are carrying on where Carl Sagan left off to educate and advocate for missions to explore the Solar system and beyond. The staff seemed amused by our geeky excitement and gave my daughter the best GS patch ever and were very gracious with their time and answered our questions and showed off some of the fascinating exhibits and projects they are working on including the LightSail and Exoplanet search. This is an organization that all science-minded people should join and help support.
