One should be able to see the entire Milky Way from any point between the
Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, minus a few degrees to allow for the MW's
visible width. Unless I've got my geometry wrong, I think that would work.
Consider that, on a spacewalk enroute to the Moon, one might be able to
rotate 360 and take it all in on the same night. I wonder if there were any
spacewalks during the lunar Apollo missions. Ant space historians care to
comment?

though.
