    Just to be the first with the news - the Magellan IUS burns
completed successfully, and the mission is on its way!	I especially
liked the way the Magellan icon took an abrupt turn on the orbit plot
as the burn progressed...

    Thanks to the wonders of NASA Select video outtakes, we saw how
Mission Control celebrated: the Capcom passed around cookies in a
Ziploc bag :-)
