My name is Stephanie Ragan and I am a 27 yr old astrophysics major in Huntsville, Alabama [home to the US Space and Rocket Center, incidentally :)]. Like most involved with this project, I do believe that the odds are with us for finding life outside of our little piece of universal real estate. This project is such a wonderful opportunity for everyone to participate in that search.
