It's insane how bright those things are in person. Passed by them heading from Primm over to what's left of Nipton a couple years back. Didn't think HELIOS-1 was based on anything real until then - and then I saw there were three towers instead of just the one.

They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics, I told them I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard.
