• Resumen

  • If a small, scrappy group at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena CA get their way, the 100th anniversary of Apollo 11--the first crewed moon landing--will see a spacecraft launched to a nearby exoplanet to look for life. The project is so new it doesn't have a name-- and most of the technology it needs doesn't exist yet. But there's plenty of time to workout the kinks before 2069.
