John Batchelor and I welcomed Dr. Jens Biele to the show to discuss updates regarding the Rosetta Mission and the Philae Lander.  First, regarding Philae, it appears to be dead but mission control is still keeping channels open & hoping for some sort of communication from it though as it moves further from the sun, communications are unlikely.  Dr. Biele was also asked about exciting discoveries regarding Rosetta. One that stood out was learning that water on Comet 67P was not like water on Earth or elsewhere.  Listen for details, at least to the extent the problem is understood today.  He also said there were exceptional night images of the comet that had not yet been made public because of the challenges involved in explaining what is seen in the images.  Can't wait to see them when they are made public!  During our short Hotel Mars segment, our guest of honor mentioned organic molecules on 67P & he discussed amino acids wondering where they might have come from.
