And to think they used to have to launch stuff into space for photos like this. Well done!

Superb !.!.!

BTW,
Why do I no longer get sent the email ballots anymore? I used to always vote, but now I don't get sent the imaging/sketching email with the finalsts to choose from.

May I restore my opportunity?
