"LSST is truly an Internet telescope, which will put terabytes of data each night into the hands of anyone that wants to explore it. The 8.4-metre LSST telescope and the 3-gigapixel camera are thus a shared resource for all humanity — the ultimate network peripheral device to explore the universe."

Between this and the soon to be launched Kepler orbital telescope we're sure to find all those puny aliens out there, wallowing in their pre-modern technologies. Also, I'm glad to see that Micro$oft is putting their earnings to good use (with Paul Allen responsible for the neccesary funding for a 350 antenna telescope array at the Hat Creek Radio Observatory in California).
