His slower (535mph vs 600 mph) cross country round trip only cost him $60 in 1965 dollars. 4. Oh, we've detected 2 gravitational wave events. 5. Oh, we've detected an elementary particle with the mass of a Barium atom. 6. We've detected superconductivity at temperatures higher than dry ice. 7. Lasers are ubiquitous and some are more than 50% efficient, energy in to laser energy out. The developed world runs on 1.5 um laser light. 8. Two groups figured out how to control-x control-v DNA.
