QuoteJan. 10, 2006 ? For seven years now, the little ship has wandered the inner solar system, working flawlessly despite the extremes of outer space. Its makers have called it Stardust ? inspired partly by Joni Mitchell's song "Woodstock," and partly by its mission. Two years ago, Stardust passed through the tail of a comet called Wild 2, gathering the tiny particles of ice and dust that pelted it at thousands of miles an hour.
Does this seem like a perfect example of a movie plot right out of hollywood itself? Stuff from outspace brings plague, disease, alien life, etc :P
Finding microbes in the stardust would be an incredible discovery, can't wait until it comes back :)
