The Kennedy space center in Florida is offering training course that costs $250 per person for the all day course which includes mission simulation in a real side shuttle and a VIP tour of the Kennedy Space Center.

sounds like an interesting experience to me especially that I will probably not read the moon or go to space.

Now some of the features:

  1.  11″ diffraction limited Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope
  2.  Fully computerized
  3. Finderscope to help find objects.
  4. Remote control to show information hands free
  5. 40,000 Objects programmed into the GPS system of the telescope (yes it automatically searches for objects in the sky and align the telescope for you to see)

It’s simply amazing! very nice purchase G ;)

  1. Enter the first 3 digits of your phone number (not the area code “assuming you are on 7 digits format”)
  2. Multiply by 80
  3. Add 1
  4. Multiply by 250
  5. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number
  6. Repeat number 5 again
  7. Subtract 250
  8. Divide by 2
