Was in a seminar this morning with my old ESA colleague, Manfred Warhaut, former head of the Mission Operations Department at ESOC.

Which gives me the excuse to post this iconic picture we're both in from 20 January 2014, at the moment when Rosetta woke from its 2.5 year long deep space hibernation ahead of its rendezvous with Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko later that year.

Goosebumps to this day, almost a decade later 🙇‍♂️
