I'm just in awe that we're coordinating events world wide based on particle interactions one of which originated billions of light years away. That we're able to understand a little more about the vast space we live in because of it, the human cooperation, the technology, the amount of curiosity it took to get here, it's beautiful.

Totally! IceCube is such an amazing combination of great people, great Science, great engineering, and a completely amazing place where it all comes together (places, really, both Madison WI and South Pole ;) ). And, as you say, IceCube is just one project involved in this discovery.
All that effort focused on one incomprehensibly small neutrino...
