Rosetta project

[Scotty]

Mind boggling how they achieve such a thing.

[chatman]

Still cant get a phone signal at home properly, but they can remote control a satellite for 10 years then land it onto a moving comet, outstanding achievement by all.



Heard on the news as the comet has very little atmosphere when it first tried to land it bounced, then came back down again an hour later and bounced again on landing...

The great thing about this project is it is all European,??not a Yank in sight!



That's why the probe landed on the comet,if yanks had helped it would have just flown back into ship,boom!

[Kervaig]

ah but did we, or is that a stick on too

[Logosgil]

Well we could eventually live on the moon,if I remember....remember,,yes 'total recall'

[Kervaig]

And here it is folks, the post written by the person with the most narrow-minded view of science on the planet, completely unaware of all the modern technology that has come from the space programs.



Let me guess - landing on the moon was a waste of money too...?



I don't think we actually landed on the moon.??Have you not seen Capricorn one?

I stayed up all night to watch the first landing on the moon. At that time it was unbelievable.



Can imagine,it was pretty amazing at the time,

I missed it,due to the state of being unborn.

[Kervaig]

how selfish and inconsiderate can you get, after all the effort that had been put in to the project - *******

[Logosgil]

With that,I appoliges,

I remember some one landing on a comet years ago to blow it up

[marko301]

I couldn't believe how big this thing is. I pictured it to be as big as a house or something. It's huuuge!
