With the microgravity that exists on that comet, you could launch yourself into orbit with one hand. No space buggy industry there. That's why the lander has to anchor itself with a couple of harpoons. Otherwise it might just bounce right off. I'd get vertigo standing just about anywhere on that comet. Puke in a space helmet is not a good thing. On Wed, Oct 29, 2014 at 9:55 AM, Howard Jackman via Utah-Astronomy < utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> wrote:
What an amazing shot! Who ever thought that comets would have dunes? I see a whole new source of potential funding for future missions - "Cruise the sandunes of 67P in your space buggy!"
