I worked on this telescope mirror!!

Twinkle no more, little star

Large Binocular Telescope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I worked on that gawd forsaken piece of crap mirror! I have a 10 inch chunk hanging on my office wall of one of the broken ones! 2 years of my life were spent busting my butt over that rotten thing, and they finally got it working!!

Bit o' both...

I can't brag, because I left before they got a complete mirror working, but it's fun to see something that you had some blood sweat and tears into come to fruition.
