It's the heat shield unfolding at L2 that is the next big test and it will be a while before we know.
Something bittersweet about that last live glimpse ...2 decades+ of work for 10's of thousands and then off into the dark.
Reminds me of the head guy for the Lunar Lander in From Earth to the Moon...that was an amazing episode.
I would think everyone in this thread has seen that series.
Good info here on what is coming ... two weeks of terror...
