Ringworld!
Last night ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rfrench and I went to the De Anza Planetarium for their show about the Cassini/Huygens mission.
- I had forgotten how much fun it is to sit in a planetarium and watch the stars roll by.
- Wow, that guy had a BAD microphone. OK, I admit I would want a mike if I were him, but that one was so bad he'd have done better to holler. At least one oldster in the audience couldn't understand a word he'd said. I've seen this sort of thing from time to time at other events. A good mike and sound system doesn't have to cost big bucks, but somehow people keep putting up with poor audio equipment.
- The best part of the show was an animated graphic illustrating the path of Cassini/Huygens from launch to just past Jupiter. The calculations, planning, and accuracy required for this trajectory leave me in awe.
- The show was written about a year ago, so actual images from Cassini and Huygens were added at the end as a slide show. They were *impressive*. MMMMMMMMMMM space!

I can't believe that with Gabriel so interested in space right now, I'd forgotten about our planetarium.
