"Science is the best idea humans have ever had. The more people who embrace that idea, the better."
- Bill Nye
Today the Planetary Society provides funding for several different projects. They are currently funding astronomers that are hunting for hazardous asteroids that could stray too close to Earth. They also participate in the search for extra solar planets, planets that orbit other stars. They also provide support for organizations that search for extraterrestrial life, such as SETI; and they try to answer their own questions as well.
