I've been thoroughly disappointed in NASA's handling of "public relations" part of the mission

every significant achievement point became a publicity stunt of lowest quality, with forced line reads and little practicality

I'm eagerly awaiting future engineering challenges and science results - but I'd want NASA to concentrate on that first, and farce show-making second

At one point, they were telling NASA that they didn't have the right words or enough superlatives. I kept waiting for them to quote Contact with "should have sent a poet"
