the planets, and the Milky Way.

Reporting on the space program,
space shuttle missions, and space station news, explaining the

of this World" facts, and covering new developments and discoveries
in our universe.
What Galileo
would Like to Share with the Hero Clubhouse™ Members:
I grew up in a time when people thought
the earth was the center of the universe. Now, thanks to the
help of Copernicus, myself, and other great scientists, we know
the earth revolves around the sun. I relied on my progressive
thinking and forward-looking vision to challenge
these long held beliefs. Of course, it took more than just words
to prove these theories. I backed up my ideas with scientific
data and research. You too can develop a theory no matter how
different it may be from current beliefs. Be sure to test and
re-test your theory to see if it holds up under varying circumstances.
GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!
