I’ve only been following this deployment as a casual observer (mostly from the NPR stories like this one) but I’m really excited to see what the future holds for this thing. It almost seems like it’s been too good to be true (great launch, flawless deployment of the mirrors, even reports that the lifespan of the device may be nearly double original estimates because of minimal fuel consumption) but I don’t think it is. Everything I see says this is the real deal!
Does anyone have a good site that I can bookmark (or RSS subscribe) that will post updates of discoveries and all the photos it’s taking as they come in?
(On a tangential note: the software engineer in me is insanely jealous that something this complex has gone so smoothly. Must be better at writing unit tests than I am or something… yeah, that’s probably it.)
