Have you ever listened to the sweet vocal stylings of Stephen Tyler and realized how badly you want to look into space and see a meteor hurtling towards Earth so that you could save the planet? Of course you have. The better question is what should you do in that situation? My advice would be to throw on Netflix because that’s not really what the sidewalk astronomer is about. Unfortunately he’s also not really about seeing the moon like an astronaut as advertised. Seeing the moon like your nephew did at camp, sure. Seeing the moon like you’re a person from Austin, check. Seeing the moon like your neighbor when he’s not using his telescope to check you out, maybe… that one’s really on a case by case basis. But seeing the moon like an astronaut usually means no gravity and large quantities of Tang. Neither can be found here. The sidewalk astronomer has potential, it’s just not all the mind makes it out to be… a bit like Italy, Texas. Incredible nightlife and extremely romantic, yes, but calling it the Paris, Texas of North Texas is just going too far. Really I’d just say both could do a better job of handling the atmosphere.
