Europe tried to grab a sample from a comet. The lander bounced off the surface and got lost. I do believed they eventually located it but never reestablished contact.

200 million miles is a long way to get a piece of asteroid

One landed in shadow on an asteroid and is as good as lost. Is that the one the European Space Agency sent out?

I can remember when I was under the illusion that science was pure. Fact based, results oriented.

Now, when I see NASA, I wonder what the story has to do with climate change.
