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: And you can open all modems just by doing `peripheral.find("modem", rednet.open)`.
gollark: You just pass them as arguments and it works.
gollark: No, your connection is fine, Discord would say if a message had not actually sent.
gollark: And send the events on the connections somehow.
gollark: Your backend server for this will have to accept websocket connections.
