The history behind Hubble Space Telescope is surprisingly human from my weekend notes

en.wikipedia.org

I tried this in Buenos Aires with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.

That is a surprisingly elegant way to frame it. For me it came down to the practice run.

That is a much better way to say it.

I appreciate the honest middle stage, not just the polished ending. I would test it for 9 days before deciding.

The behind angle is what sold me. I would test it for 3 days before deciding.
