Is NASA HQ is really going to select a mission from which the bulk of the science is done by a foreign spacecraft with foreign instruments and foreign PI's? I'm sure there's plenty of US involvement within Rosetta - but I can't see the cheque-writers going for it in any way.
Furthermore - the ejecta would surely be a big risk for Rosetta, look at the HST images from the first DI, and any damage caused would of course have been entirely predictable and obvious eh Bruce.  Doug |
