No podcast this week
Sorry all, but Glynn is still trying to get his Mac back up and running, so we’ve not been able to record. Hopefully he’ll be re-teched by next week.

G’day Fellas (or ‘Hi Guys’ for the Yankophiles).
Below is a link to the European Space Agency’s website showing ten photos from the Rosetta spacecraft that’s currently orbiting a comet that’s 508 million km away from us. That means it takes the radio signal that brings us these photos 28 minutes to reach us!
It’s mind-boggling to me (an old fart that can just remember going out in the back yard as a ten-year-old in 1957 and looking in vain for Sputnik 1)to see these photos.
In the next few days we should be seeing photos from the surface of the comet when Rosetta’s lander touches down.
Doesn’t that put our own treasured snaps in perspective!!

As always, stay focussed men!

PS – I bet you ESA isn’t using a Mac, Glynn!!
