Radio Times shows "Frontiers: the Rosetta mission" 21:00 Radio 4 Wednesday 12 November 2014. Ooohh, goody. Will they be showing live, light-speed delayed pictures on that radio show? J. P.S. no, I don't watch the radio channels very often. Why do you ask? P.P.S. ESA/NASA could show the mission control centre as the landed-safe/bounced-and-broke-Rosetta confirmations come in on all national European and public service USAlien channels just to make the geeks happier. They won't. And the national broadcasters wouldn't take the feeds live anyway. Not even the "news" channels. Science ain't news. *Sport* is Real News. Politics is Really Real News. Science is a filler if there's no gossip to pad the last thirty seconds of a programme. Media types truly have no idea. J. Mike. I suppose the media were discomfitted by the CERN/LHC public commissioning, no bang or anything interesting just a dot on the screen, how photogenic/newsworthy was that? Now if ESA could arrange for a clanger to come up to a camera lens on the comet lander probe and take a selfie, they'd be all over the story |

It seems 08:35 is the release time of the lander and comet-fall is some
hours after that |

I'd love to be a fly on the wall of the committee room currently
discussing the pros/cons of deploying ptolomy versus battery life for "main sequence" experiments and chance of moving into more sunlit posistion, versus flipping over or off into space |
