I have alwasy been the curious type trying to work out how things work.
Two TV shows i watched changed my life when i was very young, they were back to back on Sunday mornings. In India we owned a BW tv and we got one station Doordarshan and most programing was during the weekend. This was only 30 years ago. The two shows were UFO (unidetified flying objects) and Star Trek the orginal series. Both these shows instilled in me a firm faith that there was much more in the world than just my life. From that time to know i have had much intrest in Science, Engineering and Astronomy.
But it was not until about one and half years ago that i bought my first telescope. And that was after i was relocated at work with a team of guys that contained some amature astonomers. Both greatly encouraged me to buy a telescope and I am forever greatfull to them for that. One of them sold me his unused 10x50 Binos and said start with these. Best advise i ever got. Once i looked at the Moon and the Pleiads i was hooked for more.
Omaroo, at the Macquarie Open nigh lecture Josh Hawthorne mentioned the construction of Large Telescopes, apparently the French are building a 100m one over the next 10 years or was it to start in the next 10 years cant recall.
