Geek Guide to US

Geek Guide to US takes you to 30 places across America where science, engineering and nature are at their most remarkable: retired space shuttles and a moon rocket, giant telescopes and a particle accelerator, deep mines and a missile silo, the oldest trees on Earth and the quietest room in the world. Walk beneath a Saturn V moon rocket in Houston. Ride a cage 2,341 feet down into a Minnesota iron mine. Stand on the rim of the meteor crater where Apollo astronauts trained. Look into the last Titan II missile silo, missile still inside. Drive into the radio quiet zone around the Green Bank Telescope, where even a faulty microwave oven can be tracked down. Every place is real, and every one is on the map. A NEW SITE EVERY DAY Open the app, or glance at your Home Screen, and meet the Site of the Day: a different place every day, with its drawing, location and story. DRAWN AS BLUEPRINTS Every site is an original illustration in the style of an engineering blueprint: line work on a navy drafting grid, with one detail picked out in red. No stock photos. EVERY SITE HAS A STORY Learn the science and history behind each place: how a room in Minneapolis became the quietest place on Earth, why a habitat in the Utah desert pretends to be on Mars, how a microbe from a Yellowstone hot spring made modern DNA testing possible, and how a Florida community set out to prove that we live inside a hollow Earth. Every story links to its sources, which open right in the app. ALL OF AMERICA ON ONE MAP See all 30 sites across 18 states, each pin marked with its topic. Tap a pin to open its page, see how far it is from you, open it in Apple Maps for directions, or share it with a friend. BROWSE BY TOPIC Filter by Space, Astronomy, Physics, Earth, Life, Engineering or History, and sort by name, by state, or nearest first. BEFORE YOU GO Each site tells you whether it is open to visitors, only on guided tours, or not open at all, and adds safety notes where they matter, from staying on the boardwalks at Yellowstone to bringing water to the bristlecone grove. Every site gives its coordinates.
