Reminder - 400 Years of the Telescope airs tonight

As I wrote about last weekend, a very cool sounding documentary, 400 Years of the Telescope, is set to air tonight.  Here in the midwest, it’s set for 9:00PM, local time.  Check your local listings…

One note for you Tivo/DVR fans, this NOT a NOVA show.  If you have a season-pass to NOVA, it will not record this show - you need to set it up separately.

Watch and enjoy…

#4]  Bragging rights – be the first on your block to be a card carrying member
#3]  Great Pick-up lines at Cocktail Party
#2]  Develops your unassailable credibility as a rocket scientist
and
#1]  Self Satisfaction at furthering space exploration – Actually you ARE!
