Space exploration may sound like the stuff of science fiction, but for planetary scientists, it’s real and it’s happening right now.

One of the last astronauts to step foot on the Moon — Harrison “Jack” Schmitt — was a geologist and planetary scientist. Likewise, the first astronauts on Mars will be trained geologists. If you want to be on the forefront of NASA and space exploration, this major is for you!
