European Space Head Gloats over ‘Best Expertise in the World’ after Comet Landing (National Review Online)

The head of the European Space Agency took a subtle shot at his American counterparts after his organization’s successful landing on a comet, claiming his agency possesses “the best expertise of the world.”

Less than two weeks after the disastrous explosion of an American rocket and the crash of Virgin Galactic’s spacecraft prototype, Jean-Jacques Dordain was jubilant that his organization managed to place a lander on a comet moving at 34,000 miles per hour.
