Ah - but Bill could provide the ubiquitous hot soup!

Did anyone see the Beeb two prog last night? I thought the lead ESA guy was very good but Adam Hart-Davis's hands kept distracting me! It was great prog though. Its on again this afternoon on beeb 2.

Sat 15 Jan, 14:20 - 14:50 30 mins
Adam Hart-Davis and Dr Lucie Green present highlights of yesterday's landing of the Huygens probe on one of Saturn's moons Titan from the European Space Agency's Mission Control in Germany. It's the most distant landing ever attempted. Plus, an update on the data that has come in overnight.


Cheers

Dave
