European scientists are celebrating after receiving a remarkable communication from space. The solar-powered Philae comet probe is sending signals back to earth after seven months of silence.

The Philae spacecraft has been in touch with Earth from a speeding comet for the second time since waking up a few days ago, mission control said Monday, and scientists hope to improve communications with the lander by shifting the trajectory of its mother ship.

Philae in November became the first spacecraft ever to settle on a comet when it touched down on icy 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, but it managed to send data to Earth only for about 60 hours before running out of power.

lol. It’s amazing any men in a relationship live past 50.

I saw a house tonight that my fiance had already seen. She was in LOVE with it.

Old Cantral Air, Old heating system, cabinets a mess, water stains on first floor ceiling and so forth...

When I told her it was no good, she cried for 15 minutes...sigh

snicker, I can see two little space aliens sitting down over a bottle of moon juice complaining about all the junk we send up they have to fix for free.

Don’t be embarassed. Women get bored by shy men who do and dress in all the ways their girl tells them. Women want interesting manly men.

Thank you. I wasn’t going to lie to her to make her happy and spend all that money on a bad house.
the military men on this board are certainly tougher than I am. But I can hold my own :)

Lol. Being a provider is being food, being a leader is enjoining others to work with you and for you. Women like leaders and devour providers.
