Locating Persons Then versus Now

Imagine going on a trip with your

family and you got lost. How will

they be able to nd you? Think of

this situation happening in the past

and/or technologies would you use

in both situations? Which would be

easier and quicker?

Earth. But what if you want to nd

something on other planets? NASA has

been currently working on having the

future?
