Mr. Red, it was less boring when it was live, but I was watching on my laptop and in multi mode, so I was doing other stuff, too.

Right now I'm listening to a talk about the mission, which was funded privately, apparently the situation is nominal, spacecraft functioning as expected, and it faces a forty day trip to lunar orbit. A lot of the payload is fuel, so that, I guess, is why this small package is designed to be able to land on its own.
