Heads up guys/girls :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Tomorrow night Tuesday September 8th on National Geographic Channel
Worlds Toughest Fixes looks like an exciting show to be watching if you guys have nothing much to do between 9:30pm - 10:30pm

Sam Riley is at Chiles Observatory to remove a massive US$15million telescope for cleaning :eyepop:. The slightest touch can damage it, leaving astronomers waiting 6 years for a new one :scared:
oh boy im glad im not the one under pressure to clean it :whistle:

Will be interesting to watch i think HAPPY VIEWING ;)
The 20 ton eye :)

Yeah - saw that one. Was pretty cool. Saw another show where they cleaned it It's funny to see all those guys mopping the mirrors prior to recoating too in their "clean suits" mops in hands. :lol:

I just saw it. A lot of things went wrong but they ended up fixing it fine. Wouldnt want to be under all that pressure however.
