Red Planet Update
The Thursday evening trip to the Science Center was a success. There were hundreds of people waiting to see Mars, who came out from behind the clouds about five minutes after we arrived. Wwe got a fairly clear look at it through one of the telescopes. You could even see it's polar ice caps.
We went for a stroll around Heritage Park across the street while we waited for some of the crowd to disperse. When we got back, they'd opened the observatory, so we got to see the Red Planet through the big telescope in the tower. Pretty cool, except anytime someone went up or down the stairs (which was all the time), the telescope shook and the view got blurry. Oh well.
Just a side note: Don't you think Red Planet would make a great name for a beer? If you ever open a microbrewery, feel free to use the name... but only if you can give me a free case.
