Exploring the Moon & Mars and the Deep-Space Search for Another Earth

Despite what you've heard, read, or watched on TV, we have absolutely, irrefutably walked on the Moon, and we're going back again. We've found water on the Moon and plans to build lunar stations there are underway. The rovers we've sent to Mars are paving the way for human exploration there. Interest and curiosity in potential life elsewhere has spurred us on to investigate the calling cards on Mars, exoplanets orbiting other stars in the habitable zone, and the possibility of another world like our own natural spaceship - Earth.
