That’s really cool. Read somewhere that the comet is about 3 miles wide. Had no idea that they were that large. Still the gravity is microscopic, so the lander has to anchor itself with a spearing thing. And to make the landing more interesting, the comet is rotating.

So much for the theory that a comet is a “dirty snowball.”
