And for a change its not a US or Russian project.

Well done EU. I wonder if this ESA team could sort out EU finances as well!!

Not at all bad.  Slingshot off 6 planets gravitational fields to hit a target moving at 38,000 mph 317,000,000 miles away...

Think about it this was launched 10 years ago !!  It is possible that anyone with a DCC loco has more  technology than this "Dishwasher". size craft.

You must have gone to a brilliant Sunday School, we only ever got as far as Littlehampton.

As a tragic space junkie (that's all that's in me brain case), it is indeed great. An Aussie on the team, too.
