The $60 million device, however, had bugs in its computer software and would not track properly. There was a brief moment when Astronomer-Astronaut Karl Henize shouted, "Hallelujah, it looks like it's working!" only to watch it wobble off target. Conceded Henize: "That hallelujah was a bit too quick, wasn't it?"
