A SPACE mission with a difference could come to ground in Times Territory.
To mark the 40th anniversary of the Apollo moon landings, cheesemakers have launched a piece of cheddar 30km above the Earth's surface.
It is hoped the 300g wedge will become the first piece of cheese to experience space flight.

GPS data from the errant dairy product suggests it could come to ground in Hertfordshire.
Dom Lane, from the West Country Farmhouse Cheesemakers group, said: "We're not sure where it is at the moment.
