The Hyabusa ship has been lost and recovered several times. It should have disappeared a couple years ago, but the engineers have somehow kept it going. It wasn’t going to be possible to return to earth, but here it comes. This is a story of the impossible and would be dramatic if it weren’t happening so slowly and so far from earth and just a robot.
I’ve kept track of the mission and it’s amazing the number of glitches and near disasters they have overcome to get it headed back this way. Here’s hoping they can bring it home.
