Hi Quang,

Great to see someone from Ho Chi Minh! Vietnam has many dark skies. Lovely place.

I love your city so much that I almost didn't want to come home that time. Nice place, nice food, and very nice people.

I love the water rockets !
Makes me think of the time when we launch water rockets back in school periods...
until we decided to work with the neighbouring aviation club on an astro-aviation project .. a fire powdered rocket !

haha.. Enjoyed going through the photos of your activities.
Keep up the good work !
