That's because it isn't running the time machine I designed 10 years 
from now. :-)

Haven't read many details, but... what I read sounded like a good
success. Yay for your mass spectrometer to be part of that.

Kind regards,

When Cassini-Huygens was launched back in 1997, I read in an ESA
publication that about 95% of the software was written in Ada, the
rest in assembly.  I don't know whether these figures referred to
Cassini, Huygens, or both.

Either way, hat's of to Ada--and, of course, to John.
