> I mean, they just put astronauts into orbit a minute ago. What’d you do today?

Well, I'm currently unemployed, and my new job doesn't start for a few more weeks.

So my accomplishments for today include:

* I hung out with my kid before he went out to the school bus

* I made the guacamole for tonight's dinner, because it benefits from sitting in the fridge for a few hours.

* I partially caught up on today's new Crunchyroll episodes. But Konosuba season 3 just isn't amusing me the way the first two seasons did.

* Played "Endless Space 2" and "Age of Darkness: Final Stand" for a while, because I'm short on sleep today and my brain wasn't good for much else.

So, I didn't put anyone in orbit today, but I think I'm doing pretty okay, thank you :)

Nothing constructive to add here… just think it’s awesome you got to hang out with your kid and… I never knew that guac benefits from sitting in the fridge. I always thought it was the opposite.

Which faction are you playing in Endless Space 2, and why is the only reasonable answer always Horatio?

As someone that always makes guacamole immediately before eating it - what do you say changes with the flavour profile by letting it sit?

And they did it a year late and over budget (thankfully they had to absorb the loss), despite submitting a much higher bid than their competitor. So it may not be a total failure since they did eventually launch, but I would hardly call this a success.

JWST was about 15 years late and 20x over budget; would you apply a similar criteria, in which case that would probably be "a total failure"?

Everyone going up and coming down is a success. Everything else is not a success.

If you want to care about the schedule or cost, you’re welcome to.

Getting to orbit is the easy bit. Coming back is the hard part.
