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.

I'll be very curious to see just exactly how detailed images of other planets will be once this thing is done. And I'm sitting here thinking my 30x zoom lense camera was a good buy...

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

We need to start working on our new Heavy Light Projector. Playing games and watching TV on real 3D!
