About Earthly Mission

Earthly Mission is a website with interesting posts/articles about Earth – nature, animals, geography, science, history and more. The emphasis is on being interesting and informational. Let’s make learning fun!

Most articles are written by me, Tamas Varga, but I am sometimes helped out by other authors who are well-versed in these topics – you will also find many articles by Vili Molnár, for example. The editorial process involves a lot of researching for interesting topics, finding reliable sources of information, as well as rigorous fact-checking to guarantee the accuracy of our content.

But apart from the occasional contributions of expert writers, Earthly Mission is basically done by two guys: beside me, my dear friend MKL, the design magician and IT guru who claims to have come from another universe outside samsara (and I believe him), takes care all the technical development needed to run this site. And I’m so grateful for him to do it in such a professional and selfless (talk of Buddhism!) manner as he has always done.

Earthly Mission had an antecedent (in Hungarian), Spacemaker’s X-Files, which I thought was long gone, but thanks to the Wayback Machine, I was able to retrieve a snapshot from when I closed that blog and started Earthly Mission. You can view it here. It’s really old school and had some great stuff too. Wow, the internet doesn’t forget…

Anyway, when I closed that old blog 10 years ago and after a longish break broke the silence and started Earthly Mission, I was only hoping that the journey I was beginning (and continuing in a sense) would be so long and fruitful. In the decade that has passed since then (we recently celebrated our 10th anniversary), over 3,000 posts have been published on the site, garnering tens of millions of page views from many millions of visitors. We are carrying on in the hope than many thousands more will be published on the site in the future.
