@2001 Penultimate spinning bone frame! Final frame of the shot in one hour, jump cut in two hours. #2001BoneThrowInProgress #2001TwentyFirstCenturyCountdown

@2001 Two more frames of tumbling bone, and then we arrive in space in three hours. #2001BoneThrowInProgress #2001TwentyFirstCenturyCountdown

@2001 Four hours until the last bone frame, five hours now to the twenty-first century. Get ready! #2001BoneThrowInProgress #2001TwentyFirstCenturyCountdown

@2001 The last frame was probably closer to 90 degrees from final orientation, but we are on track. The next shot is scheduled to arrive in 17 hours. #2001BoneThrowInProgress #2001TwentyFirstCenturyCountdown

@2001 Ahh, this is Mission Control. Countdown is proceeding for the orbital insertion of spacecraft Ossum-1. We are now at T-minus 25 hours and counting. All systems are go, with angular rotation of the craft running near the nominal value of 5.625 degrees per hour. Current angle is near the expected value, now 130 degrees from final orientation. This is Ossum-1 Mission Control, out. #2001BoneThrowInProgress #2001TwentyFirstCenturyCountdown

@2001 With 33 hours left to go, the bone has just a shade under 180 degrees left to turn. We are getting close now. #2001BoneThrowInProgress #2001TwentyFirstCenturyCountdown

@2001 49 hours and counting! The bone has just under 270 degrees to turn, doing about 45 degrees every eight hours. So you can track progress just by looking at the angle. We are on track to party on Friday! #2001BoneThrowInProgress #2001TwentyFirstCenturyCountdown #2001JumpCutParties

@2001 With about 65 hours left to go, note the orientation of the bone. It has pretty much one full 360 degree spin left before the jump. #2001BoneThrowInProgress #2001TwentyFirstCenturyCountdown

@2001 Three days (and one hour) to go. #2001BoneThrowInProgress #2001TwentyFirstCenturyCountdown

@2001 And I'm just going to call it now: 4 days (and 1 hour) until the jump cut. #2001TwentyFirstCenturyCountdown
