Hoorah!

Now it's just time to wait for some good hard data... :)

...and is is a bad thing that I got up about an hour earlier than usual just to watch this thing?

That's what I did... Whether it's bad or not, I dunno.

I never even saw it, NASA TV Refused to load up.... :(

I Hate living on the other side of the planet sometimes...

AFAIK, you didn't miss much, the real excitement is when we get the transmission, I doubt they will hype that as much as they hyped closest approach.

Congrats to the NH team!

Those of you who downloaded the app and watched the simulation of the flyby, likely better spent your time than those of us scanning the news for word (which no major networks that I breezed through made any mention of) or watching NASA's tv.

Isn't all this hype a bit of a case of counting the chickens before they hatch? I mean, it would be so anticlimactic if they celebrated and made all that hype only for it to turn out that (god forbid) the probe failed, like a hour before closest approach or something like that.
