Impressive considering the distance and record of previous missions. How
many hours before we get the first (fuzzy, grainy) pictures?

Apparently they have data as well as the carrier, and it even landed.
Success beyond their dreams. Congratulations to everyone involved -
specially the people who presumably fitted the G-switches the right way

frequencies :-)
