Day 16 (Wednesday, March 7)

Back in the saddle after two days off this weekend in SF.  (Being surrounded by water and people felt so strange after weeks in the desert!)  The last couple days have been occupied with blanketing the entire payload.  The blankets keep everything at their correct temperature...the optics at room temp...the detectors at -25 degrees Celsius.  Keep in mind that outside this environment a fantastic fireball of an explosion is taking place, so thermal isolation is really important!

Too sleepy to write more now...good night, everyone!
