National Ignition Facility OMFG!!

These are the first photos I've seen of this place since I saw the concept artwork. The basic Idea is that you fire this super laser at a pea sized pellet of fuel and BOOM energy. And not just energy but more energy than it took to start the reaction taking Newton over their knee and reminding him who's daddy. My over simplified explanation of this place does it no justice this is one of the possible futures of energy. All bow down to the mighty science god of us all. Thank you Engadget!

Oh and here is the link to the NIF website you know the link is good when the URL begins with lasers.
