Shameless  Self-Promotion: We are opening an ice cream and coffee shop today on SullivansIsland... | |||

That's horrible self-promotion.... Am I to drive around in circles looking for ice cream shops, then ask cashier if they know Aglifter, until I find the right one? What's it called? I'll stop in and grab some ice cream. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

Our house lies south of the total eclipse path, and will experience 97.5% of total. For weeks, I was satisfied with that and planned to watch it from the yard. I've changed my mind. Now I've come to believe that not driving an hour-and-a-half north to get into the zone of totality would be foolish. We'll head to a part of Wyoming on state and U.S. highways and will likely avoid most congestion. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

is there a plane fast enough to follow the shadow path from one coast to the other? for the ultimate eclipse experience? take off 5 minutes prior , meet the shade over the ocean and fly in the shade the whole trip.

Yep, Taken from MIR in 1999: Article that shows a fake & real shot of an eclipse from space: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/new...as-photoshopped.html | |||

I don't have the link, but 2 NASA Canberras are going to pick up the eclipse in Northwest Missouri at high altitude and track it at whatever speed they can muster. They evidently will get 7 minutes of totality out of that. | |||

The shadow moves fast: •2410mph in Western Oregon •1747mph in central Nebraska •1462mph in Western Kentucky •1502mph near Charleston SC http://xjubier.free.fr/en/site...7_GoogleMapFull.html Life moves pretty fast.

| Go ahead punk, make my day |
Fast enough? Yes, it would have to be doing roughly 1,200+ MPH - so there are military aircraft could do that (F-15, F-16, F-22) for a short time, but they would all run out of fuel quickly. The SR71 could have done it, but there pilots didn't spend much time looking outside, for fear of missing a caution light at Mach 3.  | |||

so an f-18 and four tanker refuel planes for the whole trip? Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency. Neck Ties, Hats and ammo brass, Never ,ever touch'em w/o asking first | |||

Wyoming's population is predicted to grow by about 600,000 this weekend through Monday. Nuts. People continue to ask how Casper was selected to be on the eclipse route... | |||

| Like a party in your pants  |
Hows it looking for Southern IL,or St Louis area? My wife and I were thinking of driving down there Sunday night. | |||

| Never Go Full Retard  |
There used to be one. The Concorde chased an eclipse in 1973 for 74 minutes of observation. Link. They don't think it be like it is, but it do. | |||

We've arrived at our viewing location. Drive was not as bad as I expected. But we did leave at 4:30 this morning. Bring the battle of sun vs moon!  Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

I had ten glasses, and since my wife and I only need two, she sold the remaining eight on the Park City Facebook page for $5 a pair. Tons of people kept asking where to get them so she put the offer out there and sold our eight pairs in about five minutes.

I'm ready. Again, any Georgia peeps need a place to observe, I'm more than happy to have you.  And a test projection.   He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. | |||
