Still trying to find out which Metallica band member signed up for that rocket ride (which went terribly wrong).

Why they haven’t written a song called Sweet Meteor Of Death by now eludes me.

If the star is mostly metal it has to have a planet or two that might be chock-full of noble metals like gold and platinum.

The universe is full of danger/calamity and its opposing twin, opportunity.

“These are very weird stars,” Hermes says. Stars like LP 40–365 are not only some of the fastest stars known to astronomers, but also the most metal-rich stars ever detected. Stars like our sun are composed of helium and hydrogen, but a star that has survived a supernova is primarily composed of metal material, because “what we’re seeing are the by-products of violent nuclear reactions that happen when a star blows itself up,”

Excellent, as long as it doesn't forget about its history report.

Just watch the speed limit, that’s my advice to the thing.

A BBC item said about reaching the speed of light:

The more energy you put into your massive particle, the closer it can move to the speed of light, but it must always travel more slowly. ... No matter how much energy we pump into those particles, we can only add more “9s” to the right of that decimal place, however. We can never reach the speed of light.

I know, I know, it wears a mask, has CV anyway, is Trump’s fault, and is racist even as it worsens global warming. Oh, and it hates gays.
