There might be endless mysteries waiting out there in the universe, but if you think about it, there’s also no shortage of places left to explore right here on earth. There are deep jungles, tall mountains, endless oceans, and yes, the miles and miles of discoveries waiting to be made beneath the earth’s crust. Scientists...

Even though it’s been decades since NASA first put humans on the surface of the moon, everyone is still talking about it. In fact, no one has stopped talking about how important it was and how badly we want and need to return, but it turns out space travel is expensive, difficult, and dangerous. Now, though,...
