No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

Millions of years from now, bacteria from earth on the surface of that probe's debris will probably have seeded another planet with life...

Frm memory this comet is highly volatile (one reason it was chosen) and its orbit has been affected by its proximity to Jupiter recently. Currently the orbit around the sun is 6.45 earth years ,but add the weight of Rosetta and son, plus the bacteria that will breed like wildfire on the abundant nutrients of life, and thanks to the change in albedo on the surface, we could see comet 67p get a bit close for comfort in the not too distant future.
