On November 11, billions of kilometers from Earth, a spacecraft orbiter and lander will do what no other has dared to attempt: land on the volatile surface of a comet as it zooms around the sun at 67,000 km/hr. If successful, it could help peer into our past and unlock secrets of our origins.
To Catch a Comet airs on Wednesday, November 19th at 9 pm on channels 3 and 3-1.
