Coming toward the end of the year, and a cold (just a vanilla cold) is in my house. So I guess that means the “let’s get a paper out by Christmas” push is done

NuSTAR got its mixed case spelling well before my time...but yes, wondering if my shift key is broken has been a challenge for the last decade...
I have zero respect for missions which adopt mixed case spellings. It's ugly and a bad idea, so I just refuse to recognize it.
