Title: F*** Nature, We got SCIENCE! (EELT)
Post by: An4ximandros on April 20, 2014, 11:50:18 am: http://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/apr/20/spot-alien-life-european-extremely-large-telescope-chilean?CMP=fb_gu

Blow up mountain top in Chile, build European Extremely Large Telescope, live in luxury and take Super Ultra Mega High HD pics of other worlds. Dream job.

PS: The world needs a commission to establish cool names for telescopes, calling things "The very big thing that is larger than the other thing we had before" is getting really old.

But how else will we have the Pan-European Notably Immense Sensor?

Its successor can then follow what seems to be the standard naming convention, and be named the Large PENIS and so forth.
