What we can achieve as a species really does defy belief at times - shame we spend so much time beating the piss out of each other over arbitrary lines in the sand instead.

Matt Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Reports that it didn't hook onto the comet properly the first attempt - ESA comments that it took two attempts to land, and it appeared to be more secure on the final landing but they are still monitoring. http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
