   A little more seriously, as impossible as it is to believe, it is 10 years to the day since #Rosetta rendezvoused with Comet 69P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

   The adventures that unfolded there over the next two years are legendary & I'm forever grateful to have been part it.

   Here's a piece for today's anniversary featuring memories & thoughts of future missions from some ESA colleagues: https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Rosetta/Rosetta_and_beyond_tales_of_a_mission_that_left_a_mark

     #OTD ten years ago, ESA's #Rosetta spacecraft was shocked when a Klingon battleship materialised right next to it, badly camouflaged as a comet 😱😉
