Hello!


I was reading the [LINK http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_program Pioneer program] article on wikipedia. After some links i ended up on the [LINK http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayabusa Hayabusa] mission page. The spacecraft is now preparing to come back to earth after collecting tons of informations about Itokawa (photos, samples, etc...). And back on Earth they made a [LINK http://hayabusa.sci.isas.jaxa.jp/shape.pl 3D model of the asteroid] [SMILEY Smile]

Well it's not a dragon or a buddah but it has a lot of tiny cavities and shape changes.

Hmm... That doesn't look like something that I would like to have spinning on my screen when my wife enters the room.
