Keith Cowin and the IC3 Rebooters this week on planetary radio. Welcome to the Travel Show that takes you to the Final Frontier.

I'm at Kaplan of the Planetary Society.

Who'd have thought a ragtag gang of space geek engineers

could take control of a spacecraft that had been out there

for 36 long cold years?

Keith Cowling will tell us how they did it. Bill Nye will take us

from the Pacific Ocean to the edge of the solar system in his segment and will

learn why there were pieces of a space station on stage with Miss Universe, when Bruce Betts brings

us what's up.

After three weeks away, we have been rejoined by the Planetary Society Senior Editor and Planetary Evangelist.

Here's Emily Lockdawala.

Welcome back, Emily.

Thanks very much.

It's good to be back.

The solar system, as you well know, did not stand still

while you were away. And there are lots of stories waiting for us to talk about

but the one that I hope that you can address is the the news that's coming now from

Rosetta. Yeah it's always thrilling to approach a new world for the first time and small bodies in the

solar system never disappoint us with their weirdness.

So it was very exciting to see these new pictures of the Comet Churiumov Garrisamanca from Rosetta that

show that this looks like two bodies stuck together.

It's like got an Itocawa shaped thing stuck to a more blobby shaped thing.
