1) A billion seconds, one cycle, is 31.69 years (including leap
years). That's gonna be some lock-in amplifier. One can only hope for
Betelgeus going supernova on 21 December 2012 for a nice quadrupole
emission - detected by Kip Thorne.

2) "would be capable of observing supermassive black hole binaries
following galactic mergers" Then... they list the improbable stuff.

3) Two dozen authors and nobody knew how to write an abstract.

kip its a good teacher. i've learn a few cool things from him.
i know he have made bets with half d scientific comunity.)
theres alot of talent working with him.
