I had heard that there's a 14 minute delay for a signal, so everything had to work flawlessly.

Between the time that something went haywire, till you gave the order to correct, was 28 minutes

That's 500,000 lines of code, without an error

An amazing achievement looking forward to the pics. Let's hope there's a bucket and spade from a martian lying around.
I doubt they have used huge chunks of the code just yet

BTW Uncleal can you please mark OT topics OT: in front. I did this one.

Very impressive, I'm guessing a egg box and a ball of sticky back plastic wouldn't have looked as good smile
