The Last Words of Rosetta

How will the Rosetta space probe end its mission? StarTalk All-Stars host and cosmochemist Natalie Starkey fills us in on how it will make a crash landing into a comet! Rosetta Mission Project Scientist Matt Taylor explains the challenges of learning as much as possible as the probe makes its “controlled impact." Don’t miss out on comedian Chuck Nice's plan to use “controlled impact” as an insurance excuse for crashing his car. Learn more about the challenge with putting Rosetta in orbit around a comet, and what the comet might smell like. This video was shot during the recording of our episode, "Rosetta and Comet 67P, with Natalie Starkey.” If you'd like to listen to the full podcast, click here: http://www.startalkradio.net/show/rosetta-and-comet-67p-with-natalie-starkey-startalk-all-stars/ Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/startalkradio Subscribe to StarTalk: https://www.youtube.com/user/startalkradio?sub_confirmation=1 Follow StarTalk: Twitter: http://twitter.com/startalkradio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StarTalk Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/startalkradio/ About StarTalk: Science meets pop culture on StarTalk!
