The first blog post is always so hard.  I’ve had blogs before, but never had a specific focus.  So, I will say this:  welcome!  This blog is mostly about science, particularly space exploration and astronomy, but also about things happening down here on Earth (not just science, but sometimes current events, politics, crazy things, funny things, etc).  Hence the name “The Earth and Beyond.”  I’m still doing a bit of tweaking here and there, so I will eventually get this blog looking the way I want it.  This should be fun!
