Sometimes you just have to laugh, and reading this story was one of those times. The ESA is in the middle of a programme to launch about 30 satellites to create a sat-nav system (like the US GPS system). Sadly, the latest two satellites, launched on Friday 22nd August, have ended up in the wrong orbit. It makes you wonder how the ESA are going to help navigate us to our meetings, hotels, vacation destinations, etc. when they can't even park their satellites in the right orbits. | |
