Let us retract the foreskin of ignorance and apply the wirebrush of enlightenment.

Last night, I watched the Nova episode on how this got to where it is today, and found it end-to-end bananas from an engineering and logistics standpoint. Every step of the way seemed have non-negotiable blockers that had to be passed 100% with zero margin for error.

I'd probably be cheering if it made it to its orbit but had some glaring error like it couldn't send data back, let alone that it does totally work and is incredible.
