Rosetta and Philae

So... is everybody in awe of Rosetta??

Isn't it Bloody Marvellous??

The ESA fired it off over ten years ago - ten years - to slingshot round the Earth and Mars, gaining enough power to travel several billion kilometres, and match speeds with a comet less than a quarter the size of London. And then land its little robot on said comet.

The precision that took... it's amazing... it's like me throwing a tennis ball in the air, whilst standing in my garden, and landing it perfectly on the "H" in the Hollywood sign in California.

I'm glad we still reach out into space.

See you next week. Goodnight and may your God/s go with you.
