Quote:Hayabusa-2: Japan's rovers send pictures from asteroid
https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-45598156


Quote:Japan's space agency (JAXA) has made history by successfully landing two robotic explorers on the surface of an asteroid.

The two small "rovers", which were despatched from the Hayabusa-2 spacecraft on Friday, will move around the 1km-wide space rock known as Ryugu.

A very big well done to everyone involved Smile
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

That explains why it's been bothering me lately.

Great mission !!!
