Good one! Rob
I know people who don't even look up at the stars or the Moon with their own eyes!!!. Too busy staring at their navels and toes. I think a lot of it has to do with our education system and it's a sad indictment on that system. I also think it's sad that our society in general doesn't encourage the wonder in science and other important subjects, as well as in the learning process.

I think those students will remember the night for quite some time.
