So I wish I had come up with that toy.
I live now in New York City.
I came when I was a Girl Scout in 2002 or 2003 to do a museum overnight, so we slept in your planetarium.
Right outside.
Yeah, right outside under the whale.

And that is what started my obsession with space.
So it's kind of crazy to get to come back.
