A phenomenon I've noticed is that the most important person in an organization tends to always make the coolest announcements. This applies equally to the government and to corporations. Dear presidents, governors, and CEOs, please let lower level employees make the cool announcements.

If my ego were so large that I’d rather present my own work than let the POTUS do it for me, I’d probably be running Tesla.

It's quite the opposite. It's an honor that this is big enough news that the president is going to be the one presenting this to the world.

#27If this "day 2" does not refer to an actual day (which does not have a real meaning if you're not on a planet), but to a phase, why do they call it "day" and not "phase"? Does "phase" have some kind of negative connotation, does it sound too "scientific"?
I honestly don't know. Just to clarify, the term "Day-2" isn't from NASA, it's a universal engineering term - which mostly happens on Earth ;) I'm guessing it's just a planning term - like D-Day :shrugs:

I see Day-0, Day-1, Day-2 etc. used in the context of business planning quite frequently.
So its in 3 days?

Nixon called Neil and Buzz on the moon. Reagan sent a message of good wishes to STS-1 (he was recovering from an assassination attempt). Biden gets to present the government’s telescope pix. It’s one of the honors of being the President.
Carter wrote a message included in the Voyager Golden Record. These are formalities which I don't understand why that person was upset at this.

#30Time to see how much damage that micrometeoroid did.
Statistically speaking, it's quite concerning that such a large hit has occurred so soon after launch and thus does not bode well for the predicted lifespan of the telescope.
We pray it was an extreme outlier.
