FYI, it hasn't made it to ASTRONOMY on 396/45 yet.

The physics/math/mechanics to make all the happen seems  
astonishing.

That's a nice page. It kinda reminds me of the days watching  
modem uploads/downloads.  :/

But what do the gaps between day 2-3, 9-10, 11-12, 14-15, 26-29  
represent?

At about 1.5-2mi/sec hope there isn't any teeny tiny debri that  
can render it useless.
