Wow wow wow

Check out this link:

Space never, ever, ceases to amaze me.

This totally blew me away, i never new such things existed. I knew about neutron stars and such, but spinning 716 times per second!!? Something of that mass and size spinning so quickly, uh, that is just something so incredible i cant comprehend.

Hopefully studying such things as this, we can find an opening into the secret of real space travel... wishful thinking maybe, but i know that one day we are going to discover something that is just going to totally change the way we think about space and the universe. I just hope i'm alive to see it.. hehe

I think that somebody needs to hook a giant turbine up to it and power the world for a few years... That's pretty cool, and I just figured out what a neutron star is: a bunch of neutrons clumped together. No space between them so it's not like a normal atom where it's 99% free space... Duh! lol
