...and through the early hours of today!  The good news is the machine is fully assembled, and mostly works.  But, despite calling out “fire” and going through the sequence, the crew does not count last nights efforts as an official “first shot”.  The performance of the machine needs to be tweaked and it wasn’t quite there.

The determined crew stayed until the late hours of the morning when John had to leave to catch his plane.  They now have the weekend to recharge and come back next week for a fresh attempt.

For those of you just tuning in, catch up on the twitter feed and check out the pictures we uploaded last night. and click through the “Next Image” for the rest. 

Enjoy the weekend!
