Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 15, 2017 Author Hash Fellow Posted September 15, 2017 I got up in time to see the end this morning. They had two displays, showing the X Band and S Band signal reception, with a blip in the middle of each one. First one went flat, then the other. End of mission! Quote

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 19, 2017 Author Hash Fellow Posted September 19, 2017 Lessee... total cost of $3.9 billion minus $660 million from European partners divided by US population divided by 20 years... about 50¢ per person per year. That's pretty good! Quote
