Australian experts guide Stardust home. :
"Scientists at the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex say all the signs are positive for the safe return of a capsule carrying precious NASA samples from stars and a comet tonight."
Did they get it home? It was going to be the fastest man made vessel coming into the earth's atmosphere, quite apart from anything else. Stardust has been out there collecting particles from the trail of a comet. I don't know how, but this small quantity of particles will help scientists unlock information about the origins of the solar system and the advent of life on earth. All that mind boggling, rarified intellectual atmosphere stuff. I do not know how they do it, but they do!
