When you are tired of reading about all the people killing each other over religion try reading the below. It may raise your spirets that we are looking to the future and exploring space and thus learning about ourselves in the process. This ia also one of the mega projects that I so admire.
ABOUT THE DEEP SPACE NETWORK
The NASA Deep Space Network - or DSN - is an international network of antennas that supports interplanetary spacecraft missions and radio and radar astronomy observations for the exploration of the solar system and the universe. The network also supports selected Earth-orbiting missions.
The DSN currently consists of three deep-space communications facilities placed approximately 120 degrees apart around the world: at Goldstone, in California's Mojave Desert; near Madrid, Spain; and near Canberra, Australia. This strategic placement permits constant observation of spacecraft as the Earth rotates, and helps to make the DSN the largest and most sensitive scientific telecommunications system in the world.
