Happy Apollo Day!

Today is the 50th Anniversary of ‘One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.’

 
 

Hayabusa!

Congratulations to the Hayabusa2 mission team, who flew to an asteroid, dropped multiple rovers, an impactor and a separate camera satellite to observe the impactor. The Hayabusa2 then flew around, to the far side of the asteroid to avoid ejecta from the impactor. In a few weeks, Hayabusa2 will probably land, collect more samples and then fly back to Earth.
