Pretty amazing. Just imagine what you would find with the ability to spy on other planets.

I have a museum nearby that has some nice dino bones, my brother was part of a small team sculpting this guy, which is placed out front.

1.) That small child looks life-like sure is some impressive scupting.  
2.) That gown man looks so small those things must have been huge.
