I bet there were a LOT of parties at JPL and NASA when they got the green lights and knew it was working.

Amazing accomplishment. Mars has been a tough place to explore.

Hi guys
Hey don't forget the two women participants in this thread.

Tweze has been rather quiet recently and Azzy has just moved from the other side of the planet to be closer to Rick!

What changed so much at your company? A few months ago you were working short hours because there was not much to do. Now you are swamped. Did a big client hire your company?

I guess you can consider all this work job security. If you live through it.

Good luck.

Ah, the "elephant" job. Once it is done things go back to normal and the only people that love elephant jobs are the owners of the company. We just finished an elephant job.
