We land on a comet

I LOVE Astronomy :mrgreen:

This is fantastic ****.

If we can resource from this stuff instead of earth- ourselves and the species we cohabit with may stand a great new ecological chance.

Well freakin Done.

Awesome news, but I heard the "clamps" wouldn't take hold
when it landed?
(Nvm, just read the article... )

It's incredible

 

[Michael Sith]

Amazing stuff, wonderful that mankind can achieve such a feat, and hopefully this will lead to great things, in regard to resources.

It amazes me as human beings we can do incredible things like this - there are so very, very clever people in this world.

Cool as **** though....astonishing!

Makes you wonder what they could do now with manufacturing coming on leaps & bounds in those 10 years, really incredible stuff, be nice to see what the samples throw up.

A dodgy looking VCJ maybe? :?

Sir, I am fluent in six million forms of communication. Twitter is not used by the Alliance. It could be an Imperial code...

It really interests me as well mate, the sample's are predicted to give us years of data to analyse which is in itself astonishing, with this flight being a success it really has opened a lot of door's as a frontier in studying some of the comet's passing us all the time even the beginning of the universe.

NASA is even working to send people to mars and land man on a comet

It's fascinating mate that in our lifetime we could see a man land on mars (dorky yeah).
