Episode description

1.5 billion is a lot for a space mission. Is it worth it? Today we update on the Rosetta probe onto comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. In an update after the show, we learn that the Philae's first bounce lasted nearly 2 hours.
 
Closer to Earth, Associate Professor Nick Barnes from NICTA talks to us about the bionic eye.

We probe into aspergers, what is, and what does it mean. In December, we'll be interviewing Dr Peter Enticott about TMS treatments for aspergers.

And then we look at medicinal uses of cannabis, a contentious subject covered in a recent Ask Fuzzy column. (Send your questions to AskFuzzy at Zoho.com)
