"Life is good!" says Tom Duxbury, Stardust project manager at JPL, "Things couldn't have worked better in a fairy tale."
Not only does it sound like Stardust was able to gather it's comet dust and gas sample, but it also took some very close-up photographs when it was just about 300 miles from the Wild 2. Good show!
You can find more of the good news at the Stardust press release. Don't forget that tomorrow night is the scheduled landing for Spirit, the first of the two MER missions that will tackle the Martian surface this month.
