I look up words, think about how to formulate and structure sentences, in addition to try and find the right angle for my thoughts. (Which is why I have resolved in part to using quotes from books that I have). Still, my language skills doesn’t carry my ideas very well, and I am already embarrassingly aware that I am not coming across how I would like to.

I am greatly excited about the topics these three chapters bring to the forefront. I really liked the article you posted, David, and I also wanted to expand on your feedback.

Think Vikings), but what it turned out I wanted to communicate was that the vatican use it to monitor outer space as a part of as consortium - I didn’t previously know this word. ("A consortium is an association of two or more individuals, companies, organizations or governments (or any combination of these entities) with the objective of participating in a common activity or pooling their resources for achieving a common goal." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consortium))

This is a link to the Mount Graham website, http://mgio.arizona.edu. It states: «Scientific researchers from around the world make use of MGIO facilities.»

Currently one of the world's most advanced optical telescopes. The further connection I wanted to make was between astronomical observatories, jesuit astronomers, and CERN.
