Thanks for the heads-up Tom. I'd have missed it otherwise. This mission was so complex that it'd put Rube Goldberg to shame. I gave it about a 50/50 chance. Pleasantly surprised by the simulations even though they weren't real life.

Yes, Thanks for posting. Amazing, once again we get to see in real time events that no other humans have ever seen. Going there is amazing enough by itself, but to get to see it is equally amazing. 8) 8) 8)
