Well, if I manage to complete my work on an immortality formula, I may get a chance to see it again. Of course, just to play it safe, I'll take a look! :D

Other readers say they heard Mars will look as big as the Moon. It will not. On Aug. 27, Mars will look pretty much like it looks now, shining as a very bright star-like point of light. With a telescope, of course, you can make it as big as your wallet allows.


So, it won't look as big as the moon. But still a pretty cool cosmic event. :cool:
Someday I`ll play like in my dreams.

Nobody caught the gentle sarcasm here, so I'll make it more obvious. Read the header of the article [u]carefully[/u], and you will see:

Hmm... well, I was operating on the post. Hadn't read the actual article. That changes everything. Looks like I am going to have to move the time-travel machine back to the fore-front of my projects list. :D
