Debuggingync stuff when it goes wrong is a little bit more tricky. But when it works, it works very, very well. You get the heisenbergs. Keep it in the science space. Okay. So exactly. What do you think about simple distributed radio astronomy experiments for like citizen science? Are they possible? That's a very good question. Yes, they are. One of the fun projects that I've seen has been using a satellite dish like what you would connect to satellite
