I remember the laser physicist Bob Beyer talking about this project in the 90s, when LIGO was still under development (some of it in a lab that I shared with a mechanical engineer who was designing vibration isolation for the LIGO mirror supports). Even LIGO seemed a bit crazy to me at the time, and LISA seemed completely absurd. It’s exciting to see it gain traction! Fingers crossed our civilization doesn’t collapse before it launches…. 😬

Someone on here (in science, but that’s all I remember, sorry) described a strategy where they would wait until at least three people raised their hand to respond to a question, then pick the third person.
