Literally not a moon, that headline is ridiculous (not posters fault)

but Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope WILL find Earth-sized exoplanets and even REAL moons

I am stupid-excited to see it launched/first-light in my remaining lifetime (Musk better not screw it up)

For perspective on the technology, JWST "only" has 28mbps downlink

NGR has 500mbps downlink, that's right 1.5 TERABYTES PER DAY download speed

all from ONE MILLION MILES AWAY in L2 (11 seconds ping time!)

Technology is getting amazing!

I find Earth-sized exomoons quite exciting. Imagine the civilizations that can develop around those.
