Operating in the black because the public is given what it wants, a cheap extension of Lagoon/video arcade. I liked the old Hansen Planetarium better.

Great. More indoctrination of an unproven theory being taught as fact.

Ron, I don't think you have to worry about indoctrination. It looks like only one student is looking at the globe, and even he looks like he is interested in something else.

I haven't had the opportunity to visit the new planetarium. I did like old Hansen Planetarium, too. I'm all for technology, but I think whatever's being taught needs to have a live person there to catch the interest of the students.
