Reception

The Big Red Spark was awarded nine out of ten by Geoff Barton in the October edition of Classic Rock.[2]

gollark: Material from dead stars becomes new stars. Try again.
gollark: Stars are also, with sufficiently stretched definitions, life!
gollark: You could *possibly* try and carefully rotate the cabinet 90 degrees.
gollark: No, just hold a net there and open it.
gollark: Or just turn off gravity for the planet, much easier.
