  1. There’ll be a bunch of “just a saw a UFO” posts tonight no doubt 🙄

  2. Better have a pair of O Neill’s socks on one of the antennas.

  3. Tonight I say, we must move forward, not backward; upward, not forward; and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

  4. What going to be the conspiracy theory about this one?

  5. On first read I thought this was a TV satellite and the link was for the actual channels…..kudos to the science nerds for the satellite.

  6. Impressive kit, up and down in 8 minutes and nothing blew up.

  7. Everyone knows the IRA launched Ireland’s space program in 1966

    >Oh the Russians and the Yanks, with lunar probes they play,
    Toora loora loora loora loo!
    And I hear the French are trying hard to make up lost headway,
    Toora loora loora loora loo!
    But now the Irish join the race,
    We have an astronaut in space,
    Ireland, boys, is now a world power too!
    So let’s sing our celebration,
    It’s a service to the nation.
    So poor old Admiral Nelson, toora loo!
