[amsat-bb] stardust comet probe

["Kyle & Renee Yoksh" <yokshs@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello group!

This is not relating to an amateur communications satellite,
but I think it may be of interest to some in the group anyway.

I read today that NASA's Stardust probe successfully captured the first-ever
samples of comet dust!

There are so many exciting things happening in space! I am also waiting to
hear about any news about the Mars rovers, Spirit and Opportunity. The last
I heard, Spirit was set to land very soon.

I am positively amazed at the skill and precision with which the teams
involved in developing, launching and controlling these spacecraft operate!
What amazing contributions to science!
