A newer,better versions of Alvin is bound to reveal even more surprises ahout a world that is still full of mysteries,Fornari says.It might also make the job of exploration a little easier.We take so much for granted on land, Fornari says.We can walk around and see with our eyes how big things are. We can see colors,special arrangements.
