Was going to bump the old thread but it was 288 pages long and Bane would've just locked it because fods are mags.
The contribution to the thread I was going to add is kinda weak for an initial post but I'm going to do it anyway and you're going to deal with it. Long and short of it is that something wicked awesome happened yesterday that you're going to hear about in probably 4-6 months. There are follow-up plans that started last night and are running through til about noon tomorrow (and others probably non-stop after) that will mostly like yield brand new science and be another "first time in humanity" milestone.
But of course I can't tell you specifics so I'm really just giving you all the science equivalent of blue balls. Anyone familiar with my two areas of work may be able to put together a reasonable guess, but one way or another I can't confirm until public release.
Enjoy the thread.
