Geocaching rockets into space again on November 6. An American astronaut will carry a Travel Bug® to the International Space Station aboard a Russian rocket. There are more than 325 Geocaching in Space Event Caches around the world celebrating the geocaching spirit of exploration and the launch.
For my Geocaching in space Event I have had a thought and thought I would make this a little more interesting.
I gave the Observatory a call and asked if they would be able to do something for us for the event.
They will open the Observatory to a group for a demonstration of the stars and such for $100 for a group of up to about 25. This will make it a worthwhile event. The Plnetarium will be doing a run down of our sky, with common features, diatances, planets and more.
If we all chip in $10 Per person, and have at about 10 people we could make the booking easily. If we get more interested we could give them a donation for the Observatory as well, or drop the price if we get about 20 people. We would need to have cash as payment.
If you are really interested in coming and dont have the money, let me know and we can accomodate you.
I have now booked the event at the Observatory location.
Coordinates now 35°44.490′S, 174°16.117′E
7.30pm, please try to be there by this time, if not sooner. Maybe even find the final of the nearby puzzle while you wait.
Another souvenir event.
Lets get together for a short while on the night.
Geocaching is heading towards the International Space Station (ISS). All of geocaching? No, not all of it, but a very special little Travel Bug® named TB5JJN1 is tagging along with Nasa astronaut Rick Mastracchio on his mission to the ISS. Mastracchio will be using the Travel Bug as an educational tool to help teach students around the world about geography and geocaching. Mastraccio will Rocket into Space on November 7, 2013 (GMT). Every geocacher who attends a Geocaching Event on November 6 or 7, 2013 will be awarded a “Geocaching in Space” souvenir.
