Ten years flight through space and only one goal: landing on a comet. For the first time in human history Europe's space probe Rosetta will explore on location this strange world made of dust, rock and ice. Did the water on earth come from comets? Are they even responsible for the origin of life? Nobody knows yet which secrets are hidden in these "dirty snowballs". The book comes from the pen of researchers participating in the development of this space mission. It describes the long journey of the space probe and the goals of the mission.
