    A European Space Agency effort to try to detect gravitational waves in space is not only technically feasible but compelling, a new report finds.
    A panel of experts was asked to perform a "sanity check" on the endeavour, which is likely to cost well in excess of one billion euros. The Gravitational Observatory Advisory Team says it sees no showstoppers.
    It even suggests Esa try to accelerate the project from its current proposed launch date in 2034 to 2029.
