We went outside and within few moments, the guy with the big camera came to chat to us.

This is Lowell's Mausoleum. I had been fascinated to the point of obsession with astronomy, and when I was a kid, my parents and I had toured the place.

To my surprise (no not really), Ryan was really good at this stuff. He knew lots of amazing facts, and of course he ended the interview by noting that he now created internet spaceships.

If I remember correctly, this was the first telescope - and is still being used, though mostly today for educational purposes. It is used for planetary obeservations.

Again, Nasa was all over the place.
