I'll be at longwood for night scapes. Then camping in the woods tomorrow. Four day weekend bros.

Have you been to the nightscapes before? We just got a membership and went a few weeks ago. It's pretty awesome. We started at the pond in the back and then worked our way back around to the front. It doesn't start until the "best viewing time" on the longwood website, but get there early if you can because it gets pakced close to the start time. Also the beer garden is open so go have a victory brew or two.

Thanks for the tips. Going with a gal so probably won't be playing Pokemon though

Aren't I so clever!

WHY NOT USE A PENCIL?

Americans and Soviets actually did use pencils in space, before the Space Pen came around. Americans favored mechanical pencils, which produced a fine line but presented hazards when the pencil lead tips broke (and if you've ever used a mechanical pencil, you know that this happens a lot). That bit of graphite floating around the space capsule could get into someone's eye, or even find its way into machinery or electronics, causing an electrical short or other problems. And if there's one thing Houston didn't need, it was more astronauts calling up with problems.

The Soviet space program used grease pencils, which don't have breakage problems—to access more of the writing wax, cosmonauts simply peeled away another layer of paper. The problem with a grease pencil is that it's imprecise and smudgy—it's a lot like writing with a crayon. The peeled-away paper also created waste, and bits of paper floating around a Soyuz capsule were nearly as annoying as bits of graphite floating around an Apollo capsule.

The final mark against pencils has to do with fire. Any flammable material in a high-oxygen environment is a hazard, as we all learned after the terrible fire on Apollo 1. After that tragedy, NASA sought to minimize the use of flammable materials in space capsules—and every form of pencil (traditional, mechanical, or grease) involved some amount of flammable material, even if it was just the graphite.
