Check-out the detector device. Looks like a Samyang manual focus lens attached to a CCD camera of some kind.

You can't have it both ways, sunshine. They built their sensor themselves for relative peanuts around standard components. Instead of throwing sacks of money at their commercial vendor friends. With open ended development contracts. Like N$S$, or The Pentagoon$ would have done.

I have no problem with what those people did, none at all. Using inexpensive components is a good idea. It proves you don't need to mint gold in order to do some science.

What if I told you that unlimited quantities of gold can be produced out of thin air?

Gold can be beaten so thin it becomes transparent. It's only real flaw to those who have lots of it. It just slips right through their fingers.

This common, natural resource is now considered so absolutely worthless that it is abused without end.

The means of production are no secret: It employs The Reverse Robin Hood Effect.

More commonly known as "taxation."

I'm familiar. Canadians are now paying the equivalent of $3.86 per U.S. gallon (per U.S. dollar) for gasoline, the same as they paid when oil was $100/bbl. Only oil is 40% cheaper today than 2008. THAT is an example of out-of-control taxation since most of that horrific increase is due to increased taxes.
