Mars is still bright in the LA sky (if anything and be bright in the LA sky.)

I still watch it every night.

Makes me happy to think it's the closest it's been to Earth in over 60,000 years.

When I was 5 years old, living in New York, my folks took me to the Hayden Planetarium at the Museum of Natural History in Central Park. I signed up for a raffle to be on the first passenger ship to the moon. I'm still hoping to make it this lifetime.
