It's red again.

 

Looks like a counterfeit now. BTW any one
looking at Saturn at night? You can even see the rings. Jupiter, Venus and
two exo planets are also showing.

 

I wonder how mad people would be if it was a '09 S VDB?

 

Unless it's their coin, no one can be angry at that. Disappointed? Yes. But angry? No.

 

It did, however, stop the broadcasts I like to watch from the ISS, and everything else on the NASA channel on my TV.
