I came from the generation of kids who watched the moon landing with awe. Reading news that the European Space Agency landed a probe on a comet, after chasing the comet across the solar system for a decade, blows my mind.
But what happens a next?
I’m imagining an alien, whose sensors on a mother ship detect that some kind of a machine is resting on a nearby comet. A crew is sent to investigate.
Shortly after arriving, the aliens locate the machine. Bending down to inspect it closely, as their commander asks “What do you see?", are thinking to themselves... “Who built this worthless piece of ancient mechanical shit?”
Sorry. Couldn’t keep my mind from going there.
