With the Federal Tax Credit, that would be $28K. Seems reasonable.

For the next few weeks, five of the brightest planets in our solar system will be visible to the naked eye in the pre-dawn sky.

Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars and Jupiter will all be visible across the sky for the first time in more than a decade. You will also be able to see the stars Spica and Antares.

This quintet of planets can best be seen about an hour before sunrise from January 20 through the end of February.

Wind was out of the south and west so noise on the beach was a bit subdued, Atlas 5 is one of the "little ones" Space X has a Falcon 9 going up on April 8, the ports getting a little busy for the spring, looking forward to the time when they continue testing the Orion capsule

I saw the stage production at the Biltmore in NYC on January 1, 1970.    I knew a guy who through another guy knew Jerome Ragni and a group of us attended.    In February, I was drafted for the third time (they finally caught up with me :) ).    They had an open call for the crowd at West Potomac Park in the movie version.   It crossed my mind but I didn't go.
