I just cannot imagine how tense it must have been for the people (person?) whose baby this is; I know I have had my tense moments shipping overseas the first spectrometers and waiting for them to call home and work with HPGe detectors (each being generally a unique personality) they have never seen; I also know the relief at the end of it. And the scales are simply not comparable; how do these people survive the wait is just beyond me, I guess.
