When Rosetta was launched more than a decade ago, it was a dry-as-dust science story -- an unmanned spacecraft and its research payload were being launched to investigate a comet. It had become a tale of heroics in deep space, with the secrets of the Solar System at stake. After a trek of 6.5 billion kilometres (four billion miles), alone in the bitter chill of deep space, the little robot Philae battled to survive and complete its task while its mother ship orbited anxiously above. Drama and romance had been stitched into the fabric of the Rosetta mission way back in 1993.
