HEY. Watch your language...
The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.
It's that simple.

It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

So it may be THREE THOUSAND GENERATIONS before this happens...
It would be cool as hell to be alive just at the right time to witness something so cool, but I'm not holding my breath.

I wonder if the intelligent alien life on any M-Class planet orbiting that star managed to escape? Or in a Bones McCoy sounding statement: "They're dead, Jim".

I don't think it has ever been possible for an ELP to exist in orbit of Betelgeuse.
Even if it had, Betelgeuse is estimated to be only around 10 million years old, forming shortly before humans and chimps diverged from gorillas. The earliest forms of life didn't appear on earth until the earth was at least 32 times older than Betelgeuse is now - and the earliest liquid water formed on earth when earth was about ten times the age of Betelgeuse today.

Nothing lately like SN1054, but they happen! Owning a big telescope doesn't hurt, either.

Was I the only one thinking Keith Emerson was looking bad in the video?I don't think it has ever been possible for an ELP to exist in orbit of Betelgeuse.

I'unno, looking pretty good for a dead man.

Well, there can be only one. Emerson did go through a phase where he was wearing leather jackets like that so it caught me off-guard seeing ELP.
Acquired taste, but he was very very good.
I never got the performance thing until youtube then I saw him stabbing a knife in a Hammond b3 to get the note he wanted to keep playing, then tilt the thing over on his belly and play toccata and fugue in d Minor upside down, all to the bass line of fanfare for a common man as part of an extended solo.
