Seriously, you all do know this is supposed to be on TV tomorrow night 10pm on the Science Channel.

I’m hoping it’s a very successful mission.

I have it set to record; but really this is so amazing. Just think, they are timing this to almost the very second Rosetta will land. It’s truly stunning.

I hope they succeed, as well, but I think they might not. Their plans are to anchor the lander into what they anticipate to be a soft ice surface. . . they may again be in for a surprise, astonishment, and shock when the surface turns out to be hard rock, impenetrable by the harpoon anchors. They might just bounce off.
