        @neiltyson Fortunately, we still dream today, and still have a ballclub called the Astros (as for domes and artificial turf, good riddance.)

        @neiltyson yes-I grew up there. It was a crummy team, a crummy stadium, and a crummy "turf". Luckily Astroworld and JSC were down the st.

        @neiltyson And now that team plays in a stadium named after an orange juice company, the Sonics are the Thunder, and Astroturf is passé.

        @neiltyson I can access NED, SIMBAD, and Vizier from a dark sky site with a cell phone and a $300 laptop. Some of our dreams have come true.
