Still one of my favorites.
Alex Rogan: Listen, Centauri, I'm not any of those guys. I'm a kid from a trailer park.
Centauri: If that's what you think, then that's all you'll ever be!
@raysir And for the record: some of the most mathematically complex modeling astrophysicists do has to do with solar physics. It is NOT and easy problem!
@raysir Pretty much!

Voyager 1...job well done.
Team Voyager 1...job VERY well done!
For 2/3 of my life, this tiny piece of technology has enlightened, astonished and inspired me.
So grateful for the team that built such a marvel and for the team who still manages it.

@th3j35t3r -- if you take requests, is it possible to add U2F/Yubikey 2nd factor as an option?
And since that makes me sound ungrateful, let me say what you've done here with CoSo is awesome :)
