Star Trek Sequel Being Filmed Where I Work! /excited

So, this morning I learned that the upcoming JJ Abrams Star Trek Sequel is being filmed right where I work here in Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

It's really exciting.

For those that don't know, LLNL is home of the World's Largest Laser System- The National Ignition Facility. For more info, here's the main webpage.

Just a few weeks ago, we beat the 1.8+MJ mark and we're well on our way to acheiving another another milestone in 2MJ. We're really close to acheiving ignition (as in getting more energy out than what we put in) and when that happens, the whole world changes.

Cheers!

    Make sure you wear sunglasses for the lens flare.

    My grandmother worked at LLNL for years -- interestingly while the original Star Trek aired. And yes, she watched every week.

    How she would have loved to have seen this...

    How do you get a job job there and where do I sign up? I am fascinated about energy creation, have been since I was 12!

    I used to design my own reactors on paper (I know they wouldn't work).

    Thank you so much for what you do and for bringing us that much closer to a real life Trek world.

    :D

    hopefully a revamped engineering set?, this sounds a lot more technological and futuristic than a brewery.
