As they just said, "the baby is out of the womb, but we have yet to count the fingers and toes."

Now to see what information it actually shows us...
Update noon Eastern: *bounce bounce bounce* Okay, so right now they're just doing kissy-kissy among the organizations involved, but it's so pretty to hear them talk about how happy they are... space geek happies make me happy, too.
Note: "Auswalia." That amuses me. I don't know why.
