There's no doubt that this will inspire a new generation of space researchers.
To some extent one can generalize about them, although the group is heterogeneous, embracing as it does nuclear scientists, space researchers, biologists and geneticists, chemists, and engineers.
The Rosetta probe launched from French Guiana more than 10 years ago on a mission to chase down comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, known to some space researchers as "Chury" for short.

Like giant slingshots, magnetic ropes on the sun fling billions of tons of solar matter out into space, researchers revealed today at a Royal Astronomical Society meeting in Glasgow, United Kingdom.
In 2004, Bigelow Enterprises sponsored a $50 million Space Prize but it failed to capture the imagination of space researchers and eventually folded.
Space researchers across the globe were keenly watching the mission as the main space agencies also have plans to use solar sails to reach parts of the solar system inaccessible to chemical rockets (Science, 17 June, p. 1737).
