WHAT a magnificent achievement the Comet 67P landing was, and what an honour to learn that Swindon’s UK Space Agency did its bit.

Thank you, Swindon Advertiser for telling us about the good things that are happening in Swindon. Some people say there is nothing here but we have a lot to be proud.

I remember watching Mr Armstrong and Mr Aldrin with my wife when they landed on the moon just after we were married. I remember thinking how it must feel to even play a small part in such an extraordinary thing or even to live in a place with a connection to it.

Now thanks to the space agency and the brilliant scientists who sent the probe to the comet, I do know how it feels.
