Apparently we’re minting NFTs to exoplanets now. Looks like a “buy a star” grift to me, but you do you. ImageImageImageImage
I just hope they don’t pull the rug before I get my fake weather system to my $6,000 URL to a jpeg of a scraped row of the @NASAExoArchive.
I’m only accepting “you don’t understand web3” tweets from hexagon monkeys with rainbow propeller hats.

Fun note from Eric Smith just now: The SAME driver who drove all of the JWST mirrors across the country drove the truck with fully assembled JWST onto the boat. Been with project a long time!

Salute to you, Driver. A critical part of the JWST team. Image
I mean, arguably one of the most critical. 🤷‍♂️
I mean, I'm kinda tearing up just thinking about it. Same driver got to send it on its last earthbound journey. 😢

Paul Hertz: I don't know when #Astro2020 is coming out. Maybe the committee can combine all of our rumors.

This is the plot of APD division scientists' guesses as to the release date. Only two potential winners remain! Image
"We intend to come back to the community 8-10 weeks after the survey to tell you our plans”.

Q from Chick: So this is unlikely to happen at AAS?

Paul: I don’t think we’re going to get it in time for AAS now. It has to be vetted through agency. If we had it by Oct 1, maybe. Image
Note that Paul uses the New Great Observatories logo as the notional cover for #Astro2020. I remain happy to give this to Colleen / Fiona / Rob and save the committee time. :) Image
