Seriously. It leaves you in awe just thinking about it. The most powerful one we've managed to study released more energy than 9000 supernovae exploding all at once. Truly incomprehensible. And on top of that, all that energy is concentrated and collimated into a narrow cosmic laser beam travelling at 99.999999% the speed of light. The light from a GRB can be seen 7.5 billion light years away. Half way across the entire known universe.

Mind blown......

Amazing. My brain can't process this.

It took us 13 years to reach Saturn with a probe. On the cosmic scale it is like traveling millimeters when the nearest star is miles away.

It only takes one year to reach Uranus with a probe. At least once you reach the age of 45 or so.

Don't believe any part of it.

Justification for a current and/or future grants.

No, don't be silly. That's not how it works. Scientists can't just dream up shit for funding. The process is way way too complicated for that. If you had any idea how hard it is to get a grant, you would realize how foolish that sounds.

You a fool if you don't think I'm dead on right.

In the 70's the prediction was we would freeze to death and be out oil by now.
Now we are going to burn up with global warming. This rouge is about to run it's course. So let's try space is going to zap us to death.

All about the $$$$$$ grab.

You should give them names based on their production.

Boar # 74 could be The Drowner.
