50 years from now that's going to look like an "I love Lucy" episode. I hope it works.

Question- Probably no answer to it.
Watching JPL- Can hardly hear it. Volume is 100%. Any way to make it louder?

How many guys are sitting around with puckered *******s hoping they carried all the ones, and didn't screw up the math? I'd think this day would be stressful as hell for the engineers...
