an entertaining fiction novel by James Dashner about a boy named Thomas who mysteriously finds himself in a place called "the glade" with several other boys who are as clueless as he is. the glade is bordered by enormous walls that split in two on each side to a massive maze. thomas feels something strange about the place, as if he'd been there before...this book is the first of the maze runner series and is recommended (by me). the movie version is to be released in september of 2014.

The safeguarding of Earth and other worlds from biological cross-contamination (i.e. billionaires with too much time on their hands).

Also known as “planetary protection.” Planetary protection / quarantine “reflects both the unknown nature of the space environment and the desire of the scientific community to preserve the pristine nature of celestial bodies until they can be studied in detail.”

There are two types of interplanetary contamination. Forward contamination is the transfer of viable organisms from Earth to another celestial body. Back contamination is the transfer of extraterrestrial organisms, if such exist, back to the Earth's biosphere.
