Lots of things are awesome when you’re young. And they’re huge. At least to me they were. One time when I was four, I laid in the grass in the front yard and stared at the blue sky, just because of its incomprehensible size. Sometimes I went out to the field with my dad on a clear night to look at the constellations, many of which I knew by name. When I first saw the Green Bank telescopes as a five year old, it felt like I was like staring at Titans made out of metal. I carried the memory of it with me for many years, and finally came back with my parents and nephew John last summer.
