I live in Las Vegas not too far from Area 51. Opps, I forgot Area 51 does not exist. Oh well! I love astronomy and own an older model Meade Lx-200 12" telescope. After looking at the marvels of the universe it a little hard to believe we are all there is. If we are all that exist, thats an awful waste of some very nice space.
