Shared the exciting news with my wife this morning that the Philae lander had woken up and was transmitting again. Naturally she had no idea what I was talking about, and my explanation was met with less enthusiasm than I would have hoped for and exactly the amount of disinterest that I was expecting.
Still, this led to a discussion on how the curiosity of mankind had led to amazing feats of space exploration.
Never mind Mars, I think it’s fantastic that they sent a spacecraft to the moon, opined my beloved.
Indeed.
Do you think they will ever send a man to the moon?
What!!! Have you never heard of Neil Armstrong?
Of course, he was the man who landed on Apollo. No wait, that was the name of the spacecraft wasn’t it. Oh…
Cue much laughter.
You are not going to put this on your blog are you?
Of course not darling.
