NOTE:
It ain’t so much that things ain’t funny (they are).
It’s that I don’t have anything original to add.

As I’ve said before, I can’t promise uniqueness;
but I try to add an original slant.

If you've ever wondered why I use this title for the weekly launch summary,
it's a reminder that even though something that was once impossible is now routine,
it could still be pretty hard to do.

With rare exception, ideas really are trivial compared to execution.

For example, the idea of going to the Moon is simple, but ACTUALLY going to the Moon is staggeringly difficult.
