European spacecraft lands on comet

just sort train timetable out,10 years get there using best scientists so think get odd scientist who understand overhead train electrics....not so far travel to and ticket lot cheaper,fair play may died of old age waiting for rock to fly past but same could be said for train wait
 
That's interesting to learn about first time human send spacecraft to land on comet while it move very fast (41,000 MPH).
 
or 56,000 KM/hr

it was live this morning at 5AM, but i was asleep and forgotten to wake up for it, oh well I'm sure there's a you tube somewhere.....

no. far far far far far from it. we didn't even begin the first step yet.

we're still in rocket engine phase.... which is considered as a very primitive technology (like Ford Model T) to Star Trekkers. Once we've reached the warp engine phase.... then we are definitely getting closer.... normally - what defines the humanity's advancement is the energy/power technology. our battery technology is still stuck since 1900's and we're still using fossil fuel!!!

poop!

to put it in perspective.... if we are anywhere closer to star trek technology.... our iPhone battery would last 3 weeks without recharge... and all our cars would be battery-powered.... and a mega-metropolitan city (like NYC) is capable of powering itself (ie... right now - we have dozens of nuclear power plants to power entire USA. in the future - all major cities would power itself with its own power source and each state would be able to power itself as well... a decentralized power system because energy has gotten cheap and efficient).

it's about time! over a decade ago... there was a lot of talks about landing on comet.... and now it's finally happened! it is bit unfortunate that the landing itself was barely a success because it's not fully anchored in the comet at all 3 points. the thruster failed to fire which is supposed to push itself into comet to anchor in and the anchor failed to fire so right now - it's just barely hanging onto comet at upright position and because of this... its solar panels are receiving little power.

let's see.....

Wow! I wonder what our hearing aids would like , we could have a live long battery for it. Yeah I saw that on the news , it did not land right , it bounce up and landed a second time which too 2 hours to do if I heard the news right.
