The sky

Recommended Posts

There is a total lunar eclipse scheduled to occur tomorrow night. I really want my son to see it.

He's getting to the age where this stuff is interesting. A couple of nights ago, I took him outside to see the space shuttle and ISS overhead at night. He thought it was a star until I pointed out how quickly it was moving. "A shooting star?" "No, booger, it's a rocket."

He points to the moon and stars. And his favorites are "Contrails."

I am hoping that the sky will clear for him to see this eclipse tomorrow night. I think it'll be neat for him. And for me. His amazement just picks up my own. And to share things like that - it's just so damned amazing.


My wife is hotter than your wife.

As an aside, my son and I have been watching "The Universe" on the History Channel. I swear, they've got the hottest female physicists on that show.:$



Smart women are hot. :)


PHYSICISTS are hot.

And the whole gang just arrived a few hours ago...so I'll see if my nieces and nephew and daughter and sons can all go out and see it tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up! I wouldn't have known otherwise. :)

Take him to Titusville for a shuttle launch. Awesome. We used to be able to jump out the plane when the shuttle launched and flyover the runway after it landed. Even more awesome. Alas. 9/11 stopped all that.[:/]

I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

I will watch the Eclipse. B|

BUT! I would love to see that satellite get blown out of the sky! :o

Let's hope they nail it! :|



I was wondering where the satellite is going to be when they do try it. I'd like to see it.

I dunno... most likely they're going to shoot it down over the ocean. If so, I won't see it with my own eyes. I hope they have a camera on the missile going up to hit it. :ph34r:
