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: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-tech-demo-streams-first-video-from-deep-space-via-laser BR babysitter |

Dear NASA, your PR video went full retard. Never Go Full Retard |

See, cat videos and cat pictures are the universal solution to every problem! :-DD |

Seen that yeah. Did the NASA guys pick this video to make their project look all cute to tiktok viewers? All bets are open. |

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. |
