Again, a great article.



Not only has science and engineering made it possible to place this level of awareness into general knowledge, but the imaging abilities we now possess give us a great visual reference to underpin the science. :thumbsup:

Thanks - yes -
all of a sudden the main news has been hit with some amazing space stories.



Just think that one day robots or humans could land on the iron core of a planet!
We had every right to say that such a thing was impossible
