1 00:00:20,940 --> 00:00:17,910 Rosella really excites me because it's a 2 00:00:24,390 --> 00:00:20,950 mission of a whole bunch of firsts it's 3 00:00:27,030 --> 00:00:24,400 the first time that we are living with a 4 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:27,040 comet it's the first time we're going to 5 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:30,970 be landing on a comet comet CG as we 6 00:00:35,549 --> 00:00:33,130 call it is a good fit because miss comet 7 00:00:40,139 --> 00:00:35,559 was in the right plane was coming in at 8 00:00:42,869 --> 00:00:40,149 the right angle to the Sun comet 9 00:00:45,410 --> 00:00:42,879 churyumov-gerasimenko is named after the 10 00:00:49,020 --> 00:00:45,420 two astronomers who discovered it the 11 00:00:50,610 --> 00:00:49,030 comet changes dramatically between being 12 00:00:52,110 --> 00:00:50,620 far away from the Sun and getting in 13 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:52,120 close to the Sun and watching those 14 00:00:57,979 --> 00:00:54,370 changes take place over time we're going 15 00:01:02,689 --> 00:01:00,979 on board the spacecraft are a whole host 16 00:01:04,100 --> 00:01:02,699 of instruments some of them require that 17 00:01:05,870 --> 00:01:04,110 you very close to the comet whereas 18 00:01:11,780 --> 00:01:05,880 other ones especially the cameras prefer 19 00:01:18,750 --> 00:01:14,210 this is going to be the first time ever 20 00:01:23,460 --> 00:01:21,120 rosetta is going to provide us with an 21 00:01:26,550 --> 00:01:23,470 unprecedented characterization of a 22 00:01:32,580 --> 00:01:26,560 comet that provides us a window to the 23 00:01:34,170 --> 00:01:32,590 early phases of the solar system I like 24 00:01:36,870 --> 00:01:34,180 to think of it is we're essentially 25 00:01:40,470 --> 00:01:36,880 doing archeology of our own solar system 26 00:01:46,460 --> 00:01:40,480 it may tell us where the origin of the 27 00:01:51,150 --> 00:01:49,710 also comet of organics and some of the 28 00:01:53,190 --> 00:01:51,160 organics made may have been at the 29 00:01:56,850 --> 00:01:53,200 origin of life on Earth and perhaps 30 00:01:58,860 --> 00:01:56,860 elsewhere we wouldn't be going there if 31 00:02:01,680 --> 00:01:58,870 we already knew what was there one of 32 00:02:03,870 --> 00:02:01,690 the reasons we do this is we hope for 33 00:02:05,670 --> 00:02:03,880 surprises scientifically that's why we 34 00:02:08,130 --> 00:02:05,680 do this that's why we do Rosetta is 35 00:02:10,889 --> 00:02:08,140 difficult it's gonna give us so much 36 00:02:12,930 --> 00:02:10,899 information so much science so we're 37 00:02:15,390 --> 00:02:12,940 very excited data has started to come
