That observatory is on the mountain above my old house in Safford, AZ. That
road is a bear in anything above the level of a Mini-Cooper! Congrats on getting the first one up there! -- Jim Atkins Twentynine Palms CA USA "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." - Groucho Marx |

"Ken S. Tucker" wrote in message om... (Ron Baalke) wrote in message ... snippage Hubble was sold on the idea of seeing to the edges of the universe, ok we've been there, done that. I really think people will be prepared to pay $40 each (x 250,000,000 taypayers) = $10 billion to be able to determine biological entities in distant planets atmospheres. With this information we would have a better idea on how to direct the SETI program. Thanks in advance, Regards Ken S. Tucker there are about 280,000,000 residents in this country, but only about half of those are taxpayers, nowhere near the figure you suggest. rj |
