COUNTDOWN TO JULY... While I'm still on the topic of robotic space probes that are set to launch this summer, the
SELENE spacecraft is also in final preparations to launch from Japan right after
Dawn does. SELENE will orbit and study the Moon, and is billed as the most ambitious lunar project since the
Apollo program in the 1960's. Well... As long as it launches safely and reaches its destination successfully. There's a sense of
personal involvement that I have with this flight as well.
