As an undergraduate physics student with a driving interest in space and space exploration, I look to the work done by projects such as LISA as a source of inspiration and hope that it really is possible to be involved in research that pushed the boundaries of our understanding of the Universe.
How did the team members get to their position at the forefront, and what recommendations do you have for those of us at the starting line?
LIGO could make an estimate of the location in the sky of the object they were observing due to the two axis of measurement, from what I've understood, LISA has only one axis of measurement. Does this mean that you've got a telescope that you can't aim? Is there any way to compensate for this, or any ideas for a future project that could?
