I'd blame the lack of budget to make that happen on the $200B squandered on the biggest astronomical white elephant of all time, the ISS, but Rosetta was European. Well, the ISS will walk the path in pieces or as a whole of the Skylab and Mir and if I was a betting man thenI would bet that it will be spectacular. -- teleportation kills |

It was launched in 2004 so that means it was in space 13+ years http://sci.esa.int/rosetta/ It was fun getting the taste of being a part of the inner circle for a while, right? :-)) -- teleportation kills |

What else do you want? it had also deployed its solar panels & other stuff which meant it was in zero-g configuration, not launch configuration, and had never been designed with landing gear. For RichA to whine about it not surviving a 2mph (3ft/sec) collision would be like him to drop himself headfirst onto a concrete floor, nose down, and not get a bloody nose. -hh |
