Fun and games aside, I don't understand why the article makes no mention of ESA's Rosetta mission and it's Philae lander http://www.rednova.com/news/stories/1/2004/04/01/story001.html.

Well it is the BBC. It probably is a planted story by the French. Any serious mission of this type would be headed by NASA. Or JPL,etc. The French were still testing Nukes in S.Pacific atolls until---15-20 yrs ago. I don't take this report seriously.
