You engineering types are always slaves to the details.

In other news, this is what a solar system looks like when it's just getting started.

The first planet was imaged by the Keck Interferometer (I believe) over 3 years ago, and there are currently 4 total, with an asteroid belt and a Kuiper belt to boot. All bigger than Jupiter, but still pretty amazing stuff.

Wiffy probably knows all about it.
