Personnel
gollark: Just work out how many half lives the given time is, then divide the starting mass by 2 to the power of however many half lives it is.
gollark: Sounds more like physics.
gollark: There were Cult Wars yesterday, don't worry about it.
gollark: They could at least use something more creative, like the Colossal Telescope, the Big Space Eye Thing, the Somewhat Bigger Than The Last One Telescope, sort of thing.
gollark: Or shoot down the satellites if they pass too close.
