         | The black hole image to me was somewhat less impressive since
         | it was so heavily computed. It's not like a camera was pointed
         | in that direction and created an exposure over the course of
         | minutes/hours/days like the Hubble/JWST Deep Fields. The images
         | of Gargantua in Interstellar were more impressive than _the_
         | black hole image to me.

         | mission as he was above the moon lander, being the only living
         | person not in the frame.

       | Very impressive! (On a more geeky note, I note that the movie
       | zip's have a _MACOSX/Movie EV10 dir with a _Movie EV10 legent.txt
       | with an OpenAI / Chatgpt URL in - I guess probably just making
       | the (boring) titles for the video files. Odd. I hate to think
       | what other _MACOSX dirs contain in released zips

         | His lab has triggered eye creation in tadpoles, allowed frog
         | leg regeneration where none existed, and performed several
         | other ion-channel modifications that change the communication
         | between cells to trigger desired growth.
