Screw that! Hook up the ol' 2600 and play Asteroids. That thing is impossible to control and all it is is a little triangle, slightly less complicated to put it mildly! :P

Better yet, Lunar Lander. The one with rotational thrusters and conserved angular momentum. Pure evil.

I'm still trying to land on Mun successfully. All have crashed so far.

I'm so happy that Philae made it! Now, hold on tight, Philae! :-)

So how did it go? I hope they don't wake Zatoth up.
"G!"

Whats the point of landing on a comet? Are they looking for something

Considering all the water and life itself may have arrived on Earth by comets, you really want to land on want to find out what they are made off. Like really and not just speculate forever.

Philae (the lander) is pretty badass btw. It did not land on the comet one or even twice - but three times ;)

also attempt at selfie: https://twitter.com/philae2014

for those too enthusiastic sci-fi freaks, read this: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_(Baxter_novel]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_(Baxter_novel[/url])
doesnt have comet, but asteroid. and titan. i couldnt really ever decide whether to like or hate this one. lots of interesting ideas here and there.

Ooh the radio news on my way in to work was worrying me because it was saying that they'd lost contact with Philae and they weren't sure if the anchors had deployed properly, but it looks like we're all systems go again now:

*phew*

BTW if the probe had been created by the developer of 'Fez' and he thought of it as his 'baby' would it be called
'Philae O'Fish'?
Boom, boom, I KILL me, etc.
Here all week, folks...

Wow! Thats pretty epic! Selfie on a comet! First time ever!

Good it landed, was hoping it land safely. Hope it brings new discoveries to Science.

Personally I don't use twitter and such, but the idea of personification of Philae and sending tweets as 'he' would do that is innovative and fun concept! :-)

i suppose its more down-to-earth and interesting to greater audience. Rosetta has similar page.

Oh, i dont have twitter account. Ive lost to satellite and its lander :(

This was my desktop background at some point (now it's my opera background)
I love the vibe of these kind of shots.

...now just waiting for the first artifact to be discovered ;)

Sigh, apparently Philae isnt getting enough solar energy as hibernating for now - but apparently it did manage to complete and send the data of its primary mission

Hopefully it will get more solar energy later and do more tweets, selfies and other essential stuff, but for now g'nite Philae :)
