Can't wait to hear paranoid people's conspiracy theories about how the comet landing was faked

Space is cool as heck. Rosetta has been in space for a while now, so that everything ended up as planned is really great. Also, @burgzaza is the first one to land on the News subforum.

so that everything ended up as planned is really great.

Unfortunately it seems it bounced two times and stabilisated far from the expected sweet spot, in a very harsh terrain, few light ... but it worked !
Data and images from Philae/Rosetta will be epic !
