Haha!

And it was so!

That's pretty neat! I was curious what company actually manufactured that huge CCD (I assume specinst bought components and put them together in their business, not manufacture all the components themselves) but the site appears to be getting so much traffic that their servers are currently swamped as I can't connect.

-Correction: I guess I should read the text below the video.

Remember that it will cost them $100,000 to make the sensor alone, and the camera will be custom built for this purpose only.

(emphasis added)
I guess they have a fabrication plant of their own.

Yup. I don't think that they are used to the amount of traffic that Gizmodo can bring. Considering that they probably only get a few hits on a typical day.
