*kicks the front door in* DO YOU SEE HOW GODDAMN FUCKING COOL THIS SHIT IS

WE HAVE VIDEO. FROM THE SURFACE OF A COMET. SENT BY A ROBOT.

ROSETTA PROBE YOU’RE AMAZING WE LOVE YOU

That cliff is a kilometer high. is Here’s what you’re actually looking at:

THANK YOU

i was wondering

Not only is this shit cool as hell but you gotta realize how unbelievably remarkable of a task this is and how hard it was to pull off.

Humans managed to send a tiny hunk of metal stuffed with electronics millions and millions and millions of miles away through this hostile, airless envionent to land (without breaking it!) on the equivalent of a dirty snowball shooting though outer space

That’s like shooting a bullet from LA to London and hitting a moving target that’s only one foot across, and having the bullet survive the ordeal unscathed.

Plus! We humans developed a way to videotape and transmit pictures from this snowball in space so we know what it’s like to stand the surface.

I mean, is that not mind blowingly amazing???
