Just a reminder that we were mad enough to have both of these things at the ESA Open Day last Sunday 😱

Wisely, our Planetary Protection Officer insisted on separating them, Jupiter with #SpaceRocks in the tennis hall, the monolith in the squash court.

Wait, what? The squash court?! Good job we’re not the University of Chicago 😬☢️

A large jet-black monolith in the form as seen in the Space Odyssey films, 2001 & 2010. It is standing on blue carpet tiles in a squash court, silhouetted against a projected back drop showing a space scene on an alien moon with stars in the sky. Ligeti’s music was playing.
