A bit early. The most fitting anime title for them to introduce has not been animated by Kyoto Animation yet. 
Whoever knows which title I'm talking about gets a cookie. |

It would be really nice if the planetarium uses Fist of the North Star to introduce and compare the difference between Greek and East Asian constellation systems. |

I agree, but they'll probably settle for St. Seiya. |

Well, one title they *should* show is "Planetes". Von Braun himself would have loved this show.  |

I haven't watched the anime (a Taiwanese licensee obtained it two years ago but "forgot" releasing...), but I'd say the manga version is a direct insult to hardworking astronauts and ground staff at NASA, Star City, NASDA, and others. Why? Just check out the chapter where Hachimaki received a desensitization test. Space programs don't need wimps. |

Condorfan was probably referring to the fact that Wernher von Braun is referenced directly in the show and a rocket ship is named after him (and mentioned quite often). |
