I came across this a while back when it had about 300 views. Now it's pushing a million. I am at least 10 of them...

No need to reply to this, it's not my gig, just a tip for 8 minutes entertainment for anyone interested.

When i die, i seriously want to be buried somewhere in the Atacama.

I may need to marry a Chilian national for that to happen.

This video is just pure joy to see.

I like the comment about the laser being fired up so they can create an artifical star for the scopes to focus on. How bonkers, it never occured to they would need to focus those giants. I am stoopid!
