SE Rally You have to see this
Today we went ot the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank WV.
Check out these pics, the radio telescope to the very top is 480 feet high. The dish it self is about 100 yards wide and 400 feet in the air WE actually got to walk out on the dish You see that tiny dot on the edge of the dish in pic 3, that is Kawhead looking over the edge 400 feet up. Yup he is crazy

Wow Tim I thought you would feel right at home there, looks like you are all walking in a big SNOWY field.

I'm not sure if they let you walk on the dishes at the Very Large Array in New Mexico.

Wow. Now that's something. I went to Aricebo in Puerto Rico but they didn't let us go out on the dish.

Dishes receive signals not send them out, however just to be safe Tim lined his jocky shorts with tin foil!
