David Telford: I was tired after a hike and wasn’t thinking. I have changed the headline.

Jupiter moons (Europa, Ganymede, Calisto) probe.

I’m glad they resolved this. Love that they have these tricks in space to do it. “Flight of the Dragonfly”, sci fi novel, posited having these hand sized spiders as mechanical assistants for the crew. Would it be worth having something like that crawling on our deep space probes to flick a thing here or poke a thing there?

At least they got it working, that’s good news.
