Wow - how are they gonna pull that off - landing on a comet that’s most probably tumbling rapidly?

It's not like they could land on the tail.

This fascinates me. I’ve thought for years it would be neat to put some kind of communications package on comets and track them, and take observations of the universe as they travel... and now they are doing it.
I think they should also stash a bottle of Guiness. But thats just me.

How big is this comet? Does it have its own gravitational field? What’s going to hold the lander in place once it touches down?
Inquiring minds want to know
