I feel that. I’m still amazed, we had a device on Venus which lasted long enough to send back pictures of the surface and even an audio recording and it took me like 34 years of my life to finally hear from it despite it happening 15 years before I was born!

this is wonderful, I didn't know someone set up a bot for it. I zoomed in to one of their posts and I love the little symbols and art on it.
