I've been to Mars.  It's nice.

That's where they make the Mars candy barz.

I'd guess the best place to view Mars will be in the Outback of Australia. Oklahoma has problems with cloud cover, just like during that last eclipse of the sun and the one eclipse of the moon in 2007 or 2008 when-ever it was. Clouds got in the way. Mars is a very cold planet. Earth is only 93 million miles from the Sun and Earth gets darn cold, Mars is another 55 Million miles farther out than that. I doubt man will ever travel to Mars, at least not for many, many more decades. JMO.

I spent a summer in Mars Hill and it was the best place for a kid to hang out.  The last time I was there they didn't have an Outback.

Wow, that's really something, Mr. Clavin.

Yeah, but Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids.  In fact it's cold as hell.

And theres no one there to raise them if you did

Drat!  Gotta wait until I get home to check this out.

Damned corporate policies!

I reckon someplace in north Osage County, such as Bigheart or Foraker, would be sufficiently dark enough.

I believe the astronomy club goes out somewhere near leonard. Doesn't seem far enough away, though.

[custosnox]

Correct!

I did not know that.  I am scared now.

Face your fears!
