This.

Every person I've talked to who complained that it was a non-event and over-hyped did not see the true 100%. And everyone that DID see totality was awestruck, myself included. I did manage to convince a few friends to make the trek from almost-totality and they all agree it was well worth the effort.

And I might add, I love that for one glorious day, everyone embraced SCIENCE.
