Totally Rad Science Weekend

After the Trinity Site, we needed a pick me up.

Suddenly it dawned on us that we’re in New Mexico and you know what that means? Yep. There is no better place to feel like humanity is making progress on that evolutionary scale than the Very Large Telescope Array.


Or, to consider that while we might not make it into the galactic club of civilizations with all the nuclear weapons we have lying around, at least we're trying to find some other civilizations out there in the galaxy to talk with. (Uh... but, I guess they better talk nice or we'll drop the big one on 'em won’t we?)

Anyway.


Jodie Foster got to get up and close to these big dishes and so apparently did we!
