But as a dedicated science news junkie,

nearly none of the news that exists beyond the pale of

Propelling our knowledge of the world at large really matters…

Yes I know it matters, yes everything matters…

But what separates science news from the rest of human the noise

When we expand our understanding of the planet upon which we live

The solar system our planet resides within

The universe our solar system was born from…

That knowledge is firmly passed on to generations to come

When we build upon the past, we build towards the future.

And as we build towards the future we can correct courses

That may have been poorly navigated in the past…

Nowhere else the trajectory of human progress and prosperity more firmly asserted

Then right here on
