After a year planning the perfect proposal for the April 8 solar eclipse, it couldn't have gone better.

How awesome Josh!

She, like me, is a huge "Star Trek" fan, though she likes "Star Wars" more, and she is the one who finally made me sit down and watch the movie "Galaxy Quest," which I now know is an absolute masterpiece.

Yeah, she's a keeper!

Congratulations to you both!!!

Hello Josh and Dara,

Congratulations on your engagement!

I proposed to my (at the time fiancee to be) in 1967. She was underage, but I had called the restaurant ahead of time and indicated I wanted a bottle of champagne delivered to the table when I signaled the waiter. As soon as we were seated, the waiter brought the champagne...! I wasn't prepared, but figured I was forced into the moment...and proposed. She also said "Yes" and all of a sudden applause broke out from the tables around us.

We have now been married more than 55 years, so she also was definitely a "keeper"!

Loved your story and your passion for space. I am - even as I now approach my 80th - a total nut on cosmology...and enjoying life with my love of a lifetime.

Congrats again...and maybe 55 years or so from now, you'll remember this tribute!

All the best, RAO
