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.

Yes, they’ve accomplished something pretty spectacular, imho. I’m impressed. I follow several space missions, fascinated by what’s out there, but this one’s really excited me. I hope Philae can land on that lumpy piece of rock without breaking apart. It’ll be interesting to see what they learn about it.
