IRTF Telescope Operator Bill Golisch gave me a heads up about NASA Astronaut John Grunsfeld mentioning his visit to Mauna Kea Observatories that we facilitated in 2004 (see below) after his spacewalk to repair HST. It was awesome that MKO was mentioned and that it aired on NASA TV. How cool is that? | |||||||||
