  1. I am in awe of the engineers and scientists who made this possible. The idea of landing a probe on a roughly 2X3 mile wide comet at high speed is more than my puny pedestrian brain can fathom. Congratulations to all.

  2. This is Rosetta probe to ground control… Im stepping toward the comet… And Im dropping in a most peculiar way… and the comet looks very different today…
