Page 1 of Rosetta spacecraft comet landing!

The lander has separated and they've made contact with it, so in about 4 and a half hours we'll have landed something on a comet for the first time ever.

Somehow I don't think it'll be like Armageddon!

Or not.
I hope it works though. The whole thing has got me hooked.

The Beebs got a live feed and on the lighter side you might find this amusing.

Probably not but it might be a 'Mother' moment if they find evidence that comets seed life.

Worth thinking on the fact that this thing was sent off 10 years ago. Do you think you'd be following it live on this?

I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was.
Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary

They're cheering in the control room right now...

Philae has laended.
Hold your breath folks. The anchors didn't fire so it's just perched there.
Nobody sneeze.

The screws have apparently worked though. Three words: "No More Nails" - they missed a trick there.

As it settled into the surface by about 4 cm I'd say sticking it to dust wasn't an option.

Wait... so no nazis on the comet? I knew I shouldn't have trusted the Daily Express. :(

Some amazing pictures...
