Same tourist trap it was back in '70, everyone drove to see it and then went "so what"? If eclipses do allow the elites to time travel then the next one should restart America. My only suggestion is to do more about combatting the chestnut blight. China can provide us with plenty of resistant trees, opening up trade sooner.

It is sure to be a big let down. I have been to two total lunar eclipse. Not worth any kind of travel unless you were up for a trip anyway.
