Hi there.

In Space, Pee Is for Power
(click pic or link to read article)

Urine is typically considered something to get rid of. But urine is largely water, and that’s a valuable resource in space. If a new process can be successfully scaled up from recent lab tests, future space travelers could more efficiently recycle their own urine to reclaim its water and make a little electrical power to boot.

Rosetta represents not only the first attempt at a soft-landing onto the surface of a comet, but also the first time they will get a chance to touch and and taste one of these ancient objects believed to be remnants from the time the solar system was born.

Let's wait for other news but the landing was more complicated than expected
http://www.bbc.com/news/live/science-environment-29985988

The anchoring harpoons did not fire, and so they are not anchoring the lander to the surface.

When things don't work properly, humans usually find clever solutions beyond expectations.

Remember Hubble: it was a drama as images were blury... solutions found gave us improved images far beyond the initial project; without the problems that were encountered, we wouldn't have discovered such wonders.
Right?

So many inventions go beyond imagination, following mistakes (blotting paper, penicillin, X-Rays), big unexpected problems (Hubble), etc.
Like in sports where athlets have to be mentally trained to ask for mad results, and dare, and overcome there fear, "normal" imagination of projects are never as ambitious as solutions to failed experience.

Negative outcome is not a problem, it's an opportunity so taht people can say "we don't have anything to lose".

Hi Muriel,
How to see what happened before light appeared (ie before 380,000 years after BB)?

NB: To me it's 380.000years (cf Wikipedia -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_of_the_universe )
There're articles speaking about 400Myears but I guess they're mistaken (eg NASA LOL http://jwst.nasa.gov/firstlight.html ).

Sorry for that mistake ! I am totally confused with huge numbers.
The Rosetta spacecraft and its Philae lander have a lot to teach scientists about what Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko looks like, is composed of, and even what it smells like, but what does the comet sound like? The day before Philae made history by landing on the surface of the comet, ESA released an audio clip of 67P/C-G singing. Unfortunately, its song is creepy as hell and sounds a lot like Predator, the alien that tried to kill Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Of course, sound waves can’t travel through space, so it isn’t a direct audio recording. Instead, Rosetta’s Plasma Consortium (RPC) picked up variations in the magnetic field around the comet, due to interactions between 67P/C-G’s coma and the plasma from the Sun, better known as solar wind. These variations resulted in frequencies between 40 to 50 millihertz, about 10,000 times lower than can be detected by humans. ESA scientists altered the frequency of the comet’s song into human hearing range, and discovered it was a series of clicks that are very reminiscent of Predator’s growl.
http://www.iflscience.com/space/rosetta-s-comet-sounds-lot-predator
Gérard they have found what the comet smells like and also what it sounds like. You can listen for yourself !
Ok human ear can't hear it and ESA scientists altered the frequency of the comet's song into human hearing range.

The comet seems to be emitting a ‘song’ in the form of oscillations in the magnetic field in the comet’s environment. It is being sung at 40-50 millihertz, far below human hearing, which typically picks up sound between 20 Hz and 20 kHz. To make the music audible to the human ear, the frequencies have been increased by a factor of about 10,000.
http://blogs.esa.int/rosetta/2014/11/11/the-singing-comet/
Of course to make the music audible to the human ear, the frequencies have been increased by a factor of about 10.000. The scientists are excited because they didn't expect that.
