Hello Fellow "Searchers,"
I still haven't made it beyond the "slow or non-responsive" page :( but
Planetary Society did post this update ...
Launch Update from Project Director Andrew Westphal, August 1, 5:30 p.m.
Pacific Daylight Time:
The launch took place as planned at 11:00 a.m. but the web server at the
Berkeley Space Science Lab had trouble handling the massive influx of
traffic. As a result, many people trying to log-on could not access the
system. As the day wore on, things improved: we transferred operations to
a different server, which made things much better, and in the next few
days we will be bringing additional servers online. So bear with us!
Hundreds of volunteers are searching for interstellar dust right now, and
many many more will join the search as we make the necessary adjustments.
So, maybe some encouraging news (?) ...
