    The Rosetta probe has successfully landed on Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. It didn't secure itself properly, however, and wound up bouncing, placing it in a possibly unstable location with less than ideal sunlight. Here're some of the pictures from the probe. XKCD had a cute little play-by-play comic about it. You can see all of the panels here It's a mindblowing achievement, given the distances involved. It will be interesting to see what they make of the situation.

    Well, we don't really actually know all that much about the actual composition of comets. They're not quite asteroids-aka big balls of rock or metal. They're sometimes described as big space snowballs, which while being a gross oversimplification is kinda close to the mark. But besides that, we didn't even know if we could even land on a comet until yesterday-there were worries that the probe would simply sink into the surface, or any other number of catastrophic events. Now that Philae's up and running, we're going to get so much stuff about what makes these things work. Like Kay said, it was also practice for other things. The probe carried an experimental harpoon landing system. Basically you fire at the object and reel yourself in with it. I don't think it actually worked (I believe it failed to fire?) but it's an idea that's been suggested to use when landing on smaller bodies. Remember, shit like asteroids or comets have negligible gravity, so even if we can get into an orbit around one, that doesn't necessarily mean that landing is going to be easy (or even possible) with the aid of what little gravity there is. This is a system designed to land and attach probes (and maybe eventually spacecraft) in situations where you can't trust the object you're landing on to keep you stuck to itself.

    alright listen up you lil shits simon's 'bout to explain football positions offense: quarterback: guy who throws the ball or hands it to running back (see below), also calls most plays running back: guy who runs with ball, can also catch passes from quarterback or block for him offensive line: guys who protect guy with ball from defense wide receivers: guys who catch passes tight end: a mix between line and receiver, can do both defense: defensive line: llarge guys trying to push through/around the o-line and get to the dude with the ball linebackers: guys behind the d-line. defend against short passes, go after running backs, try to get to quarterback sometimes cornerbacks: guys who keep wide receivers from catching passes safeties: guys at way back of defense, last line on deep passes, work with cornerbacks usually special teams: placekicker: guy who kicks field goals / extra points / off the tee to other team after his team scores punter: guy who punts ball to other team when offense fails kick returner: guy who catches the kick and tries to run it back as far as possible it's kind of odd that there's an entire position and play designed around giving the other team the ball isn't it you now know all there is to know about american football now go watch this clip and experience the definition of nadir

      They launched this sucker 10 and a half fucking years ago. It was expected to land within 500 meters of the designated landing zone. It landed within 50 meters.   Fucking science.

    No, but we will be able to capture comets and use them for space rodeos.

    Yep. Install CM11 first. I also really like pushbullet if you use your phone and computer.   Did you have a smartphone before?
