The past lies in our future (#SciFriday #4)

We landed on this pile of ice and dust expecting to find something that would advance our scientific knowledge, but what we found was a piece of our past and a glimpse of our future.

Buried in the cold depth of the comet lied Soyuz2. Ivan Istochnikov was supposed to be a hoax, a 'Modern art exercice', but here, in this coffin of ice and dust, lied a mummified aberration of a cosmonaut.

More astonishing however was the state we found the dog in. Kloka was pretty much alive, but showing signs of mutations. We probably found the missing link.
