I'm gutted to hear that the Planetarium programs are getting axed. And I suspect most people who grew up in San Francisco will feel the same.

I *LOVED* going there as a kid, and it played a significant role in me deciding - in middle school - to pursue a career in astrophysics. (In the end, I didn't, but that was still my focus when I first enrolled at Cal.)

This is a terrible blow, I think, for Bay Area kids, for science education, for the City. And when I think about what things the City is spending money on, and the relatively small amount involved here...

Maybe some tech multi-millionaire/billionaire will step up to save this, possible instead of donating to the GOP or funding surveillance cameras or something.
