Addendum, to well actually folks, yes I realize it's this time next year, so not "technically" "about" , but given it's been in space nearly 50 years, that's not that far away, so "about" is still valid... So GAFL!

To quote Douglas Adams:
“Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.”

@devopscats @adamshostack Very exciting, and also I don't understand why these articles are getting so much traction. It's a year away still.
