Since LIGO has two operational sites, with VIRGO there are now three. This will result in much improved directional resolution (solid angle uncertainty) for the detected events.
This gave me goose bumps when the news hit of this detection. There have been a number of other ones since. Only the beginning of a brand new field of astronomy. This will be especially fruitful with cross instrument correlated studies.
You really know your shit!
I'm also a Space enthusiast and I really believe 2018/2020 will be great for Science. Whether because of public institutions like NASA or CERN's LHC, or private ones like Elon Musk's SpaceX and whatever he's been working on! This guy is gonna change our world (even more than he already has)!
