Club Aims to Make Space Exploration a Reality

About 20 fellow enthusiasts came to the club's introductory meeting last Tuesday--prepared to dream of the impossible.

"I've always had an interest in space and the e-mails I had gotten in the past sounded interesting," attendee Moses P. Bloom '00 said.

One benefits club members can reap is assistance in finding careers in space exploration.

"We've tried to create an internship and scholarship database for people interested on space," Ross said.

The database is accessible on SEDS' Web site, http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~seds.

Since prospects are definitely more certain for future generations, the club is trying to inculcate the space bug in local youths. Last year, they had six workshops in local schools to introduce the possibility of "going up" to the next generation of students. Further outreach is planned for this year.

"This is a group that has a lot to offer," says Professor of Astronomy Jonathan E. Grindlay, who is the club's faculty advisor.
