So I wake up this morning and find this amusing and fascinating news article in my Facebook feed...
http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-30012854 It turns out the European Space Programme is preparing to land a probe on a nearby comet, which is pretty neat stuff. But then I read the name of one of the scientists...
"And Prof Ian Wright, a leading British scientist working on the lander, said he was determined to be upbeat: "We realise this is a risky venture. In a sense that is part of the excitement of the whole thing. Exploration is like that: you go into the unknown, you're unsure of what you're going to face," he told BBC News."
Fun mashup of the original Dr Who companion names I just had to share with you all! Enjoy your day :)
