“Been like our family for the last decade. And now it's leaving.”
“And so I'm sad to see it go, but I'm so excited to learn so much more that Roman is going to uncover about our universe.”
“So it's, it's a little bittersweet. Because I get to come here every day and see it, and so, it won't be the same coming to work and not having it here anymore. But, it's really exciting that we're going to actually see it go up in a rocket and get in orbit and start taking images.”
