Well the mysterious pre-announcement really. I’m surprised it wasn’t just released as a press-release.
Supernova don’t do press release! Supernova think press release stupid! Supernova like make people wait! Supernova go live webcast! Supernova angry!
Looks like Supernova should switch to decaf.
“Quietly,” of course, being a relative term. I imagine it’ll be the height of excitement for anybody still stuck on our planet.
Yeh, Supernova was feeling a little punchy last night. Supernova up till 5 am. Supernova apologize.
No apology needed IMHO. I thought the post was insanely funny. 
Well, Supernova is life of party!
I think we need an “Ask The Supernova” thread.
Yeah, NASA doesn’t know its ass from its face when it comes to public relations. It should take the billions it squanders inefficiently on the space program and pay a few actual marketing guys. (The lifer engineers there probably would think that’s an outrage.) It’s true, this thing wasn’t hyped up to the public, but it definately spoiled it for the reporters who then didn’t feel like making a new story out of it.
Finding a new supernova actually would have been pretty cool, especially if you say it exploded during the Civil War but was blocked by clouds of dust so thick they’ll blot out the light of a million suns.
Except now everyone who’s in a position to report it is like, ‘meh.’
Was that last night last night, or last night 24,000 years ago?
Supernova indulges Inigo. Supernova provides link for convenience.
To be fair, sometimes they get it right. Death Star Galaxy anyone? Though that is more the Chandra Press Office rather than the NASA one.
I know the people involved with that too
I knew a Chevynova back in the day. She ended up playing a significant role in a move about a planet of apes, then went on to form an informative space documentary series.
What?!

Yeah, she was nova, that one.
