NASA lost contact with a satellite 12 years ago. An amateur just found
   its signal.

     NASA confirmed an incredible discovery Tuesday - that an amateur
     radio astronomer, on the hunt for a classified government satellite,
     stumbled upon signals from a spacecraft that had been thought lost
     12 years earlier, raising hope that NASA can resurrect a mission
     that changed our understanding of the "invisible ocean" around the
     Earth.

   How cool is this? I think I worked on PowerPoint presentations and sat
   in meetings on Tuesday. Peace & Love to my employer, coworkers, and
   customers but I would much rather have discovered a lost spacecraft.

   "Too cool" is the correct answer to "how cool is this?", by the way.
