I think I've said this before, but I'll say it again. At some science conference my coach went to, the people who designed the NASA website were handing out brochures on how to navigate it.
Is it really a good, well-organized website, if you need a brochure to navigate it?

sure sure quadratic
finding stuff is real easy if you use the search in nasa, but i mean, thats not the problem
it's the format of the website and how they organize is whats annoyingly impossible to navigate
and z, hm, do you have a copy of the brochure?

Their search engine doesn't even search all parts of their site. The solarsystem subdomain, for example, isn't searched..

It could be on nasa.gov. If you can find it.

Is the most likely site USGS.gov?
And also I think that Nasa was messy, but If you know how to search, it not really hard.
I think that NOAA wasn't that bad, though.

The most likely site is USGS, based on the current rotation.

I had to use NOAA for a school project for history, and it was horrible. My best luck was looking at other sites that linked in to NOAA. NASA isn't great, but I like it better. Maybe that's part of the event- they give us challenging websites so not everyone gets near perfect on the data-gathering. After all, isn't a really good test supposed to have first place scoring about 80% so it is challenging enough?
