OK, Ok, this is not Planetarium related, but it IS space related, and it is a question that does come up on a random basis in shows.

So, for all of you out there wondering this very, very important fact...

How long could you survive in the vacuum of space?

And if you are wondering how long you could do the same, you can find out by clicking on the image above or, right here. By the way, that page is kind of wonky. If you get there and it is blank, refresh it a time or two.

(Note: I'm not sure how scientifically accuarate that thing is...)

Pampered and Pampered

It's been so long once again since I've posted. There has been lots of excitement, but the shows have had the standard sorts of things going on.

I just had a group of what I only knew going in as "special ed kids". Those are my favorites. This group was between the ages of 15 and 18, and they were a little less functioning than I am used to having in the Planetarium. I will give an example to try to show how...

When my reservationist/greeter person asked if, before the show began, anyone needed to use the bathroom, one of the teachers replied, "Oh, no, they're fine. We made sure they were all double diapered before we left school."

DOUBLE diapered.

We actually did have a very fun time. Not sure if the double diapering was a factor in that, but you never know...
