Description

Many people feel that it’s very important for humanity’s long term survival that we become a multiplanet species.  Traveling to and possibly even inhabiting other planets in our solar system is not only possible with our current levels of technology, but compared to going to the stars, it’s downright easy.

 

But what about traveling to exoplanets?  Can we reach the stars?

 

We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.
