Damn, the box of protostar I have here is now worthless!
Seriously tho, I can't wait until they get the costs involved down to the point that its economical for us amateurs. How long do you reckon, 5, 10 years?

Love the comment on the page that references Hitch Hikers Guide (Hotblack Desiato's perfect black ship parked at the restaurant at the edge of the universe)

It was a ship of classic, simple design, like a flattened salmon, twenty yards long, very clean, very sleek. There was just one remarkable thing about it.

``It's so ... black!'' said Ford Prefect, ``you can hardly make out its shape ... light just seems to fall into it!''

Zaphod said nothing. He had simply fallen in love.

The blackness of it was so extreme that it was almost impossible to tell how close you were standing to it.

``Your eyes just slide off it ...'' said Ford in wonder. It was an emotional moment. He bit his lip.
