Also, the Nobel Prize was instituted by Alfred Nobel, inventor of dynamite.
As a lay-person I found the coverage of these missions facinating and riveting.
What a pleasure to be able to follow it all in such detail, live, with complex issues explained for a broad audience with clarity and without condescension by knowledgable presenters.
Let it be known - I have a plethora of issues with our human space programs but must also acknowledge the beauty in the aesthetics, the technology, the international cooperation, shared knowledge and whole global experience of these missions.
Also a lot of apt visual metaphor in this time of claustrophobia and physical isolation!

Dynamite was developed for civilian use as a safer, more stable form of raw nitroglycerine for mining, demolition and the like. It wasn’t that invention that tarnished his legacy, it was all the military-grade stuff.
