Comet Catcher Moves Into Position
This is a really interesting space project. Comet Catcher was launched in 1999 that is in position to sample comet dust tomorrow afternoon! On the far side of the sun! At 13 thousand miles per hour relative to the dust! I just have to use these exclamation points for this!!! It transmitts video of the comet for ten hours, then packs up the samples for the trip back to earth - Utah, to be exact, January 15, 2006 at 5 a.m.!!!!
