babysitter:
Psyche, on its way to the main belt to visit the asteroid of the same name, carries a NIR-based deep space optical  communications experiment.

This was successfully demonstrated on december 11th - aptly with a video of a cat chasing a red laser dot:

Dear NASA, your PR video went full retard.

Never Go Full Retard
nctnico:
See, cat videos and cat pictures are the universal solution to every problem!  :-DD
SiliconWizard:
Seen that yeah.
Did the NASA guys pick this video to make their project look all cute to tiktok viewers? All bets are open.
tom66:
Science communication is an art; this is a good thing, it got space science reported in mainstream news which is great.  I like the cat video from NASA and long may they continue.
