Synthesis and destruction

60P5H2V0 is most well-known for being the first orthogonal spaceship that travels at a speed other than c/2 to be successfully constructed via glider synthesis (using 63 gliders). The glider synthesis was mostly due to Noam Elkies, with help from Mark Niemiec and Jason Summers, in March 2003.[2] Thanks to its glider synthesis, two guns have been independently constructed that create it: a period 416 gun and a period 690 gun.

It can easily be destroyed by two eater 2s as shown below.

gollark: > nom was designed to properly parse binary formats from the beginning. Compared to the usual handwritten C parsers, nom parsers are just as fast, free from buffer overflow vulnerabilities, and handle common patterns for you:
gollark: <:IContributeToCppStandard:747786793537241128> you.
gollark: I think baidicoot is contributing to one of those.
gollark: Why not parse***C++***?
gollark: So elegance, such Haskell, much wow.
