RIP Grant Imahara

A belated farewell to Grant! A person who helped push the boundaries of Science and Science Fiction! Most of us will always remember him for his contributions to Mythbusters until the network decided to cut the budget. Seems that White Trash Under Pressure has better ratings. Still, I enjoyed what he brought to the show.

Grant also worked for George Lucas’ special effects house and helped bring to life the bad trilogy which I don’t blame him for at all. A job is a job. It all looked good is one positive thing I can say about those terrible movies.

What I didn’t know was that he was a contestant on Comedy Central’s short-lived Battlebots show. I watched it but have no memory of him being on. I hope he won.

Thanks for everything you did Grant. You are one of the few who struggled to make the world a better place through your knowledge and willingness to try. Millions will miss you.
