This is exciting stuff. The original pictures it sent back were great; I can't wait to see the next lot.

Exciting stuff indeed Ark. Makes me a little sad that I wont be around when we have made further advances (deeper in space, living on the moon etc)

The shots it has taken so far are mind blowing indeed!

Fantastic piece of technology and just shows why space is a frontier we need to get out and explore.

Why, where are you going?

well I reckon I'll be 10ft under before they get to Star Trek level

the photographs are absolutely breathtaking and show the Universe as it was millions and millions of years ago-they just put into perspective our own pitiful attempts at space travel-nearly 50 years since Yuri Gargarin became the first man in space and nearly 40 years since Neil Armstrong became the first man on the Moon, and that is all we have to show for it-a 250000 mile trip to the Moon and nothing since

sweet! i can't get enough of those images, perspective indeed. I wonder if in the future we'll actually be able to see a planets surface. There could be some technologically advanced life from far away watching our planets early days right now, they'll know more about the early earth than we do.
