It cost Irish people less to send something into space than to see a film about space

You probably know the Philae probe today touched down on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and sent a signal to Earth - but did you know you paid for the mission?

It cost €1.4bn to land on a comet for the first time in human history.

That was paid by each European citizen over the last 10 years - roughly 20c per person per year.
