How can I follow it? I am still on planet Earth, just!
I did read all about it this morning though, it looks brilliant, with telescopes, diggers, and all sorts. I can't believe they can make something with an energy source which will last 2 years!! I was reading on the BBC website, and as usual there were loads of people whinging on about the cost. But I think it's fantastic.
