...starting a new thread for Hayabusa's sampling feedback and the return voyage.
After its nail-biting success in November, will there be enough fuel for the Falcon to make it home? -------------------- --O'Dave

I very much doubt it will be around by then, and I'm afraid we will soon be able to add Hayabusa to Japan's almost unbroken modern record of space failures -- although at least it came a good deal closer to success than most of Japan's missions do. Space missions simply cannot be done on such low funding levels.
I shudder to report that -- according to the Nov. 28 Aviation Week -- JAXA has been taking its advice on how to reform its space program from Dan Goldin. |
