My System: Sky UK family pack. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 5 fixed dishes (4.6E/5E/13E/16E/19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA (with dragon cam), Coship CDVB 2300A, Fortecstar Lifetime Ultra, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S, 2250kb  The last noble sat warrior to fly the olden flag of Analogue |
An unmanned Japanese space probe sent to collect what would be the world's first samples from an asteroid has failed to touch down on its target. h**p://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4454152.stm | ||

| Bit premature there matey http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4467676.stm Im worried about what sort of crap the probe will be bringing back to earth in two years time though, the asteroid looks like a large lump of alien poo.
