ETA2: "Miles O'Brien from PBS News"? Seriously? XD
Yes, seriously. I snicker, quietly, every time he's on the Newshour. Poor guy.
Also, squeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!! I do wish Aged Dad was still around to see this. I had one of those moments of melancholy when they talked about Ranger 7 and the peanuts - he was working at the Lab back then (he was a science writer), and I remember how excited he was when he got home that they'd finally got the whole sequence to work. We were all excited; even I knew how big a deal it was.
Please excuse any grammatical and spelling errors, I stayed up to watch the landing and I've been up again since before 5AM.

This has been such a great year for astronomy geeks. :D
