I thought this article about the Japanese probe collecting samples and bringing them back was interesting. They also managed to get a look at material that wasn't corrupted by Earths atmosphere. Giving them samples of what is really out there. Athough they had technical issues I think this method should be used more often.

With NASA's budget being cut back year on year, they have to make do with ever less, even cutting back on missions. They can do "cheap" missions if they are willing to let a spacecraft drift along for years on minimal power.

I found that image of Itokawa fascinating. Not what you expect from an asteroid.
If your posts are nothing more than what can be read in a book, then you are not taking part in the debate.

I found the pictures fascinating as well. It isn't what you would expect it to look like. I also get a high from knowing that we are looking at something that has not been viewed before at least by humans. It's interesting to see something that is ages upon ages old. Much like original discoveries of new continents by early humans we are looking at a new vista of possibilities and history many years in the future.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

When we launched in May 2000, we wanted to create a site to share science-related content of all kinds on the web. As time passed, our site turned into a pure science forum with lots of cool people.

So we kept the name Hypography and the cool science forum community - and aim to be a friendly place for discussion of science topics of all kinds.
