Philae Lands Successfully On Comet
Found on Slashdot on Wednesday, 12 November 2014
The European Space Agency has confirmed that the Philae probe has successfully landed on the comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko and established contact with headquarters. The harpoons have deployed and reeled in the slack, and the landing gear has retracted. (Edit: They're now saying the harpoons didn't fire after all.)
Simply impressive.
