note: #DSN uses a “follow the sun” approach for operating antennas, so the antennas at #MDSCC in #Madrid are currently being operated by the ops team at #CDSCC in #Canberra since it’s day time here in #Aus & night time in Spain 🙃

normally there’s only a skeleton maintenance crew on site at the Deep Space Communication Complexes overnight but I expect there are some additional staff on site (or on call) just in case for such important mission support

@zorrobandito I'd agree (as a #canberra n).

The hard truth though is that the government wants us to take public transport into the city, where people want to drive. The ACT government is reducing the number of parking spaces available, and their prices are going up thanks to supply and demand. So going to see something at the theatre is no longer just a quick drive to free parking. We've grown too used to having parking available after hours and driving to things.

There's plenty of good restaurants, shopping, cinemas, and the theatre in the city centre. It's the question of how you get there.
