IT LANDED. OH MY GOD IT ACTUALLY LANDED. This spacecraft took off in March. Not of this year, not of last year, but MARCH OF 200-FREAKING-4. And we just landed it on a comet thats currently 30 light-minutes away from us. Thats over 330 million miles. About 3 of those years were spent in a complete and total state of hibernation. Its like Oh hey, lets throw this chunk of metal at where we think this chunk of rock and ice will be in 10 years AND HIT IT. A HUGE congratulations to ESA and the Rosetta/Philae team, and Ill be damned if there arent tears in my eyes right now. Time to see what we discover :D
