Scientist Matt Taylor on the Rosetta mission

Matt Taylor is the project scientist on the Rosetta mission which in November, successfully landed a probe on a comet more than half a billion kilometres away. Brought up in east London, heavily tattooed and a heavy metal fan, Matt Taylor doesn't fit the usual profile of a serious scientist - nor one so closely involved with one of the most ambitious science projects around - to find out how planets were born and life began.
