That was sad, millions of dollars worth of sadness

There's still more to this story, though, isn't there?

*tear* I'll miss you Minerva-chan. MUSES-C(han) is all alone now, it brings a tear to my eye.

Godspeed Minerva-chan!

You think that's sad? Hayabusa's propellant problems meant that instead of dropping it's sample payload and slingshotting away from the earth the entire probe burnt up in the atmosphere this afternoon.

Lets home Orenji doesn't do a 4koma of that.

Did you guys already try the tag search of 'はやぶさ(Hayabusa)' in Pixiv? There is an inordinate number of pictures of "Hayabusa".

Eh? But the reentry capsule itself was retrieved without a hitch....which means Hayabusa-chan here would still have survived and just been pretty injured, right? ...R-Right?
