  • I remember hearing about that. Such a disappointment....

  • No sound? or is that just me?

  • @Nowak18827

    No one in congress does either

  • @PostMeridianLyf  this is true

  • @Nowak18827 It seems like 90% of the people that play a part in our government are pretty clueless as well.

  • @PostMeridianLyf that would prob be a bad idea considering he knows nothing of politics

  • @DJBoydsauce hes got better stuff to do

  • @pac6010

    I can remember that Mars was an extremely bright red dot in the sky during the period when it was closer. It had to be significantly nearer to Earth than usual to cause this. It looked pretty, too.

  • @MomoTheBellyDancer I think that might have been Jupiter but ya Mars can be very visible too, never as big as the moon though

  • Wasn't Mars very visible in the night sky for while?
