Has anyone heard about this space mission? The Rosetta comet chaser?
I hadn't, and I find it fascinating.
I really hope that it works (so many things could go wrong).
It reminds me of NASA's "Seven Minutes of Terror" when the rover Curiosity landed on Mars.
(If you never saw that video--or don't remember it--it is here:

Everything described in the video worked perfectly, which is truly amazing.)
Anyway, the article about the Rosetta mission, and the fantastic things the scientists are trying to achieve, is here:
