it’s remarkable how well the craft recovered from the first harpoon.

And the thruster failure. And the spin of the rock. And the contradictory directions of the angles of repose all over the thing.

Remarkable isn't the half of it.

They did a nice job; they may yet get the probe out of the crater and get those solar panels into the sunlight. It traveled over 4 billion miles and hit a target 2.5 miles in diameter, nice shootin’.
