writing proposals is hard!

Today I took a serious shot at getting words down in my upcoming NASA proposal for open-source tools, frameworks, and libraries. This is a new call to support development and maintainance of open-source projects that are aligned with NASA science missions (yay open science and NASA!). Dustin Lang (Perimeter) and I are proposing to support Astrometry.net, which is used in multiple NASA missions, including SOFIA and SPHEREx. It is hard to put together a full proposal; writing a proposal is comparable in intellectual scope to writing a scientific paper! And it must be done on deadline, or not at all.
