Hi Ron,

Thanks for the link to an excellent article.

Very exciting indeed and an incredible feat of engineering that has been
a long time in the making. They will certainly enable us to look a long way back in
time in the infrared and microwave wavelengths and undoubtedly fill in a few more
pieces of the puzzle plus probably raise some new questions as well.

Fingers crossed for a successful launch and deployment! :thumbsup:

Best Regards
