I like this post, and I am unanimous in that.
Mika: Thanks for this really detailed write-up! Despite today's let down (not totally unexpected) we're certain we can get DSN and ISEE-3 talking to one another to get the ranging process completed on Sunday. Meanwhile, we're looking forward to Saturday and our spin-up burn.

The 1970s ISEE-3 spacecraft is the target of the first-ever citizen scientist project to reclaim an abandoned…
I'm from the town that was hit by The Night of the Twisters in 1980. And as freightening as tornados may appear, hail is the real damage wrecker in the midwest. Just ask any insurance company what they pay more for...
You know what would be even worse for Wyoming's economy? Raising a bunch of science-illiterate students.

Somewhere, the Great Bird of the Galaxy flies proud today. Three cheers for Matt Jeffries, too!

Picard. He's the ultimate diplomat on a flagship that most likely would have been used for more diplomatic missions due to it's inherit ability to host large numbers of people - and being the most impressive to show off to new or prospective members.
He was also insanely cool, even at the most stressful of situations…
