A robot probe from Hayabusa is due to land on Itokawa

The names of 100 Liverpudlians are due to be deposited on an asteroid 180 million miles from earth on Saturday.

A landing craft from the Japanese space probe Hayabusa is expected to land on Itokawa as part of the first ever mission to land on an asteroid.

The names of people from Liverpool are among about a million gathered globally which have been inscribed on an aluminium sheet on a landing robot.

There is absolutely no proof that Scousers had anything to do with the mishap, although two housebricks have been found where the wheels should be. :badgrin: :) :)

That's joined up thinkin' from the Councils. When they ban smokin' in Liverpool we'll be able to get a tram to Knowsley for a pint and a smoke. ;)

They obviously don't care about pollution, else the Sonae factory would have been closed down years ago.

:rolleyes:
