            [October 22, 2011] 
            Americans 
			have been explorers long before we declared our independence on July 
			4, 1776.  Colonists were brave enough 
			to venture across the seas to settle in the unknown frontier of the 
			New World.  From there, westward expansion eventually took them from 
			the east coast to the west. Then came the space race, and imagined 
			places to explore. Shows like Star Trek called space the 
			final frontier. But we’ve since found new frontiers, such as 
			cyberspace. | 
		
            | If you’ve used Social 
			Security’s website, then you know that cyberspace is no longer a 
			strange, uncharted territory. Social Security’s online services are 
			so easy to navigate, even Kirk could use them (as Patty Duke tells 
			George Takei in one of our new public service announcements – check 
			them out at 
			
			
			www.socialsecurity.gov/boldlygo). 
			What are some of the things 
			you can do easily at 
			
			
			www.socialsecurity.gov? 
			There’s even more you can do 
			at 
			
			www.socialsecurity.gov. 
			If you’re feeling adventurous and want to explore, look around our 
			home page, read some of our publications, and take advantage of our 
			most popular services at the left side of the screen. You even can 
			chart a course for our frequently asked questions. 
 
			It wasn’t fireworks and 
			parades that made America what it is today. It was our adventurous 
			spirit, our desire to explore new places. We encourage you to 
			explore the final frontier for your Social Security business at
			
			
			www.socialsecurity.gov.
