Well, there was not much to report visually, but it was still quite an experience. I am sure that though are naked eye did not see a giant plume as our imaginations, (and a few mathematical calculations) had expected, there is still a plethora of extremely valuable and important data to be found. I personally think that this offers more now, like finding the reason why the plume was not a big, what caused it, and other such questions. As science has a great merit badge in doing, while trying to find a few answers, thousands of questions are raised. But, that is what makes science science, and anything to take away from that would be a shame. This entire experience was more than I could have ever asked for, and there is absolutely no disappointment in my heart mind or soul. In fact, I would say that my curiosity is at its peak now, more than I ever thought possible before. So many questions to still be answered, so many more questions to be raised in the search for those answers, and the ever growing vastness of the knowledge that we are more than fortunate to have with us to help us in our journey towards new discoveries. No doubt this historical moment will raise the new generation of “Space Race.”
