As I recall Gene Roddenberry addressed that in an episode of Star Trek....

Gravitational waves. One more tiny step in understanding the universe. Thanks for posting that.

Pretty wild stuff. I'm fascinated by astronomy.

Very cool stuff indeed! We were geeking out about it at work all day. I'm really looking forward to seeing where this takes LIGO in the future. I have a very strong feeling that had we not heard this signal the NSF would have pulled the plug on LIGO in another year or so. That signal got to us just in the nick of time!

I need to properly get my head into this.
