Sunday Times article on 'swarming' by Prof. Mike Hinchey

There is a nice piece in today's Sunday Times (P6 main section) entitled ' Limerick scientist invents self sacrificing spaceships'.
Anybody who was at the BSP will have heard his talk on this concept and I have to say it was absolutely captivating and one of the most innovative ideas I ever came across. Great scoop there lads... well done.

Cool
Must read that!
As for a scoop,
U can thank good old google.
I was racking my brains trying to think of
a local person to ask.
I got fed up and just put in Limerick astronomy
into google and up popped a newspaper article about mike... I could not believe it...
He was exactly the right speaker...AND from Limerick too! What were the odds!?
I think we will be hearing more about this swarm idea for sure!
