Well, at least they were smart enough not to delay the mission 12 hours, so that,
as in the old joke, it would have less difficulties because it would reach the Sun

Reasonably fast mission as well! Though I wonder if the thing will last as long as they say it will. Its heat shield will stop the IR and UV, but not the cosmic rays.
