It’s amazing that we can pull off a mission like this!
It’s totally mind blowing to me. If you have ever played KSP. Planning an intercept, landing and return is prettt hard, even when you have full and instantaneous control and complete situational awareness.
Programming and doing it remotely with known comms lag is crazy to me.
