Loved it. It’s very much in the high concept line of SF, but man, there’s some fascinating stuff in there. Also, I had done reading on the Cultural Revolution a few years ago, so it was interesting getting something that grew directly out of the consequences of that in sensibility.

The James Webb was sitting at my husband’s work for a while before launch (like, a couple of years); we’re really attached to the whole thing. They did a lot of cool tours and stuff, and my son was able to go see it several times while it was here.
Every time a system came online, it was like a little mini-holiday at my house. When the first calibration image came back, it was like Christmas morning.
The magnitude of engineering and elbow-grease that has gone into getting us these images is tear-jerking.

One of the things I love about our last series of scopes is that we’ve been all: Ok we think it’ll be this good, which is awesome and then the telescope is all…
Hold my drink.
