What's really mind-blowing to me is that when I was watching the clock a mere 20 minutes after launch the mission was all but done (except for bringing the 2nd stage back in its terminal phase). I remember a day when it took for seemingly ever to get to the deployment part.
One other observation was the difference in "Mission Control." 25 years ago it was air-cooled consoles with built-in CRTs; today it's a bunch of three-monitor (prolly bought on Amazon Prime) setup on what looks pretty-much like four-legged office table nudged together.
That's AWESOME!!!
