Bounced 1km and came back down?

Anchor hooks did not get a good grip on the first go.. or so a space bird told me. It’s the simple things that trip ya up.

The gravity on this thing might be so slight that you could possibly push off of it and achieve escape velocity, which would probably be bad.

It’s weight with respect to the comet is about a gram, and it was designed apparently to utilize that tiny gravitational tug to land and sink grapples.
