I should have went to bed earlier

Wife and I watched the Matrix after the kids went to bed then started the Santa stuff of putting together stockings and getting Santa presents out and one of our 8yo boys suddenly showed up. I was like oh shit and grabbed him and took him back to his room and fell asleep with him for a bit. That probably saved me from staying up too late lol

At least the animations are decent... Guess it's too hard to do live cam on a half billion $ launch vehicle

 

[Menger]

even though my brain knows that the telescope can safely travel this quickly through space it’s still hard to process

We didn't have the budget for that!
