New Morning, Dawning. New Year. New... Day!

And the next gen space 'scope deployment continues. . . flawlessly.

Here's the latest (below) -- we too will enforce the law of gravity, on the couch, today, on the first.

. . .Work on the deployment of [the next gen 'scope's] sunshield mid-booms went late into the night yesterday. [The next gen 'scope's] mission management decided this morning to pause deployment activities for today and allow the team to rest and prepare to begin [the next gen 'scope's] sunshield tensioning tomorrow, Sunday, Jan. 2. That deployment is still expected to take place over at least two days.

This will likely affect the full timeline for [the next gen 'scope's] deployment. The timeline will be updated as major deployments resume. . . .

We are smiling ear to ear, seeing now that the snow warnings, and the tornado watches, around the nation have passed without really serious incidents. Onward!
