General Chatter - The Boozer / Re: Going to be Away?
« on: August 11, 2014, 08:20:36 PM »
Greetings from Germany! All is going well so far, except that the wifi at last night's hotel decided to block Exilian (I got a long message in German, ending in "games"!). I contemplated ravaging the hotel with Fire (and, possibly, The Sword*), but eventually decided against, as it's very convenient and does a good breakfast.
* See "1066 And All That". Also, the hotel isn't in Thanet.

Indeed, and likewise what it's had to do to get out to the comet: five times round the sun, and several gravitational slingshots. All with a fixed amount of fuel and fairly limited margin for error. This is rocket science!
EDIT: This xkcd post seems relevant.

Another BBC article, with a selection of pictures, some very detailed.

Meanwhile, I might not be so absent as expected - a couple of experiments have shown that I can read and post here using the browser on my phone. Yay for technology!

History, Science, and Interesting Information - The Great Library / Rosetta space probe, Philae lander, comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
« on: August 06, 2014, 11:29:06 PM »
As you might have heard, the Rosetta space probe arrived at its target (comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko) today, after a ten-year journey to get it into the right orbit - see this BBC news article. I'm looking forward to the science reports, and also to finding out what the surface of a comet actually looks like.

Fortunately not: Germany has good beer, schnitzel and strudel, and I doubt I'd find any of these in Mordor.
