Anyone else excited about this Rosetta comet probe?

It should have already landed, waiting for radio waves to arrive to Earth.

If we do, it’ll happen in around 28 minutes:

Background:

I don’t know how they stand waiting. Must be the longest half hour in their lives.

Certainly looks like we’ll make contact. Whether or not we’ll call it a ‘landing’… we’ll soon find out.

And it’s been en route for like 10 years.

5 minutes!

Come on!

Any second now!

F5, f5, f5…

Guy rushed to pick up phone… jaws hanging THAT’S IT!!!

I think success.

Yes!

Clapping in mission control, no pics yet

Telemetry coming!

Ignore my comment about no pics above. Duh. I’m on a new med. :slight_smile: It has tweeted though now I hear!

Cool!

I kind of fancy Monika.

Philae confirmed on the surface and talking woohoo!!!

So exciting. Cheers to the team that made this happen.
