Been holding my breath the past half hour waiting to see if Philae successfully disengaged. And it did! WOOHOO!
I’ve been keeping an eye on this mission for a while, anticipating this day. Now to hope Philae can land successfully. I’ll be checking up on it first thing when I wake up later and I’ll be sleeping with all appendages crossed.
It’s operating from 28 light minutes away, that’s some major lag. It’s amazing that the lander can do this on it’s own considering too that it’s using 10 year old technology.
