#OnceUponATime #CometLanding #GrandFinale @ESA_Rosetta following @Philae_2014 to #ChuryumovGerasimenko #P67
" #OnceUponATime a spacecraft named #Rosetta was launched into the night sky. A long, long journey lay ahead of her, to uncover the mysteries of our solar system. Rosetta carried a little passenger, the lander #Philae. It had taken many, many years to dream of that mission and now #Rosetta was on her way to the far off comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko.“
This is how the lovely tales of @ESA_Rosetta and her little travelbuddy @Philae_2014 are being told in an adorable youtube-comic series by @esa
( sci.esa.int/rosetta/53593-outreach-resources/#once-upon-a... )
I can't believe how quickly time flew by since January 20th 2014, when my then 3 year old son @LightspeedLeo , my husband @travelholic and I started following this mission with #RosettaAreWeThereYet and #WakeUpRosetta.
While Leo sat there, watching the live feed and the little videos with sparkling eyes he said: “Mommy, I wish I could wake up together with Rosetta and Philae every morning“.
So together we grabbed a tetra pak, card board, tin foil, self adhesive foil, spits of wood and - extremely important - some wobbly eyes for #Rosetta and #Philae and -after studying the blueprints in the latest esa-bulletin- started building our own spacecraft together.

Since then a happy #MiniSpaceTweep and his travelbuddy @PinkLilDragon wake up smiling together with THEIR #RosettaAndPhilae mobile every single morning ;-)
It was a pleasure for all of us to follow all their adventures and to learn more about their journey, to listen to Philippe Gaudon during #SpaceUpTLS in 2014 and see those amazing models at „Cité de l’Espace“ in Toulouse and also to visit the “Holy Grail of Rosetta“, its home base at ESOC in Darmstadt a few times, sitting on the chair of Flight Operations Director #FOD @Andrea Accomazzo in the Main Control Room #MCR and closely feeling the spirit and excitement of this very special place and sharing this with our friends from near and far. (And no, we didn't press any buttons there ;-) )
In a few days, on September 30th @ESA_Rosetta will follow @Philae_2014 to its final destination and the two travelbuddies will be finally reunited on their #LuckyDucky #67P.
So I am looking forward to be at ESOC with @travelholic and many others then, sharing the #GrandFinale and the #CometLanding celebrations of a mission so well done by the awesome @esa teams around @AndreaAccomazzo and @mggtTaylor.
Congrats to all involved in #Rosetta Mission @ESA - European Space Agency for taking a(nother) giant leap in history, thank you very much for your inspiration and for sharing your ride with all of us.
Your 2 little space exlorers will always have a special place in our hearts!
YOU ROCK SPACE AND OUTREACH!
