The Planetary Society

If you are unfamiliar with the Planetary Society, please visit their site and familiarize yourself a bit. Not only will you be more connected to Carl Sagan (and Bruce Murray and Louis Friendman), but you'll potentially be on the front end of helping to make sure that exploration continues. This story about the Pluto fly-by will give you a better idea of just how integral society -- and the Planetary Society in particular -- can be in making sure that budgets and red tape don't get in the way of exploring the universe we live in. And you can become a part of it by joining. What are you waiting for?
