Well, you can bet dollars to donuts that Obama and his administration are going to try to find a way to take credit.
I noticed a couple of suits came through, and were roundly ignored.

I think these are the remaining NASA employees who still have jobs, thanks to Obama. CONGRATS USA!

Obama inherited this, but he will claim credit for it tomorrow.
Bet he downplays it, because, you know, it makes America look really good and it might inspire kids to become engineers, or even worse, it might inspire kids to imagine great things for this country.

Well, it can do PRIMARY duty for two years but the power source will be good much longer than that. Could still do experiments but just might not be able to move.
