Solar System Exploration
 With the recent space shuttle tragedy, many people are questioning the need for space exploration when the risks seem far greater than any potential payoff. This excellent site presented by NASA makes the case for the importance of exploring our celestial neighborhood and outlines the goals of the program -- from satisfying our quest for knowledge to gaining insight into our origins. The home page offers breaking news, as well as the latest images from space and information on upcoming events. The targeted goals of current and upcoming missions are clearly laid out, and the technology and resources needed to realize these visions are examined. After visiting this site, the real question becomes clear: How can we fully appreciate the uniqueness of our home planet when we've barely walked around our neighborhood?
