Only thing I've found so far is the short clip in b&w from Woody Allen's Manhattan. Wondering if you would ever consider posting your footage to youtube. Loved the old planetarium since I was a kid, had so much more character than the glass box. <br /><br />Thanks,<br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13020604152723324312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691339190773272138.post-72988474059872895252009-05-07T10:14:00.000-04:002009-05-07T10:14:00.000-04:00Email I just received from Jason in response to co...Email I just received from Jason in response to comment from NDTyson . . . .<br /><br />I tried to post the following on your blog, but I can't seem to do it:<br /><br />Mr.Tyson,<br /><br />I am actually a fan of your book and PBS programs and did meet you when you first took over, and you were a gentleman. However, I stand by what I wrote, and I am not the only one. Let me share with you an email I received today:<br /><br />"Jason,<br /><br /><br />I will be sure to watch, as the destruction of that great deco building was yet another nail in the coffin of this once fine, and worthy city. I signed many petitions at the time, as did thousands, but to no avail. We know a few people who work at the museum, and virtually NO one who worked there wanted this to happen (as you no doubt know already), and now the whole new "Gaudi-tarium" is - guess what? - practically bankrupting the museum! No one ever learns a damn thing around here, I guess.<br /><br /><br />Thanks for re-airing this one. Keep in touch!<br /><br />Best<br /><br />Nick"<br /><br /><br /><br />Anyway, thanks for writing, and I hope to meet you again someday.<br /><br />Jason HowardDana Herberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13547262833459295651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691339190773272138.post-16711175467071348042009-05-06T16:23:00.000-04:002009-05-06T16:23:00.000-04:00Wow.

And all these years I thought i was a leader.<br /><br />Not that your asked, but the new Rose Center for Earth and Space (containing the rebuild Hayden Planetarium) has enjoyed more visitors in its nine years of existence than the previous thirty years combined at the old Hayden. So if not you, then somebody out there likes what we've done with the place.<br /><br />-NDTyson Astrophysicist & Director<br />Hayden Planetarium, AMNHNDTysonhttp://www.haydenplanetarium.org/tyson/noreply@blogger.com
