That stuff is amazing. We have learned more about the cosmos in the past few decades then we learned in our entire history. Same goes for exploring the ocean.
The hardest part of doing nothing is knowing when your done.

Its a pretty interesting profile. 35 minute burn to drop into orbit? Wow. I wonder if they plan on rounding the orbit out later on, or if they play on staying that crazy elliptical for the whole mission. I get that they want to stay out of the radiation, but the polar orbit should be fine quite a lot closer than what they're at now...
