If only NASA hadn’t been so involved in muslim outreach, perhaps they could’ve helped.

If it were a Sandra Fluke probe there would be two legs stuck up in the air.

Sounds like they may try to push it off the surface with an extendable arm with hopes of it resettling in a better position.

This is a cover up. Wolowitz ran it into a ditch.

It was designed that way

Let's see:
After separation from Rosetta, the thrusters meant to direct the probe to the comet's surface didn't work.
Then, the two "harpoons" meant to anchor the probe to the comet's surface didn't deploy, resulting in the probe "bouncing" into its current position, resting in a hole or on the edge of a cliff.
So, what exactly went right with this mission?

No problem. Just send a guy out there to set it right, real quick. No worries at all.

Sheila Jackson Lee was outraged that we could put our flag on Mars but Europe can put theirs on a comet planet.

It appears to be a design flaw to me. Why attempt a perfect three-point landing on a circus tent? Why not just allow for adjustment regardless of the terrain, etc?
