Thanks for that . I assume the item at the bottom left shows the component deployment status ? That's what is causing most of the nail-biting !

That might be what it is.

 

You'd swear all of this is 50% competence and 50% crossed fingers.

Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

Amazing project!!!

The decades of planning, decisions, engineering, re-engineering, extensive testing, retesting and testing some more...

then, what to me looks like the most crazy, precise launch... with seemingly zero margin for the orbital mechanics calculations, you either get it right, or the whole thing is wasted. And they got it right!

Then unfold the super fragile components slowly, carefully, in slow stages... aim the mirrors... and 20 billion will probably start to pay off soon!!

Huge effort by SOOO many people all around the world, "a giant leap for mankind" even?
