Philae Made It! We have Landed ona a Comet!

The landing as seen by XKCD.

After all the waiting and agonising, the Philae lander separated cleanly form Rosetta and made a slow, 7 hour journey to comet 67P.

And landed. Story here.

Your post, so exciting, would indicate you were celebrating, (as well as all thinking peeps), a great, a momentous, event. A truly wonderful reason to suck the grape or the grain. Or both. And to think that just now people on Google ask "Was all this worth the money?" Like the Moon landings. Oh wait. They didn't happen. I forgot. Keep up the great work.
