Remember when NASA bombed the moon? We all survived and it was a huge anti-climax, but one thing that did come out of it was the infamous high-five fail from LCROSS mission HQ:
Ouch.
Well now their scientists have had more success with the photographing of the Hartley-2 comet after a close encounter… somewhere… out there…
Sadly, it seems that successfully celebrating this amazing achievement is still a little way beyond them:
Shake hands or high-five? Just decide on one and do it.
Come on guys – this isn’t rocket science…
That’s cute, brought a smile to my face and everything. One day they might actually get it right. 😀
You should know how scientists are – social niceties are not really their thing….
I’m sorry.. but the handshaker was correct. No one with gray hair should high five.

Pamela > No – us biologists are very outgoing. It’s the nerdy maths & physics ones you’re thinking of.
