Philae is down….

Well…10 years…10 frickin years to get to this point…in case you haven’t been following…the Philae lander has landed on the comet and is sending back data…I am in awe of the accomplishment and of the comments that I have just heard…that this is to advance the human race’s knowledge..to advance science and help us to understand the universe we live in…and, I got to watch it live just like the moon landings in 1969. Of course, this landing had no danger for the humans involved…but, it does not minimize the accomplishment at all…it was just so cool to see the reactions of the geeks live when the data started to come in…it made me smile that there are still people in the world who care so much about science and what it can do for the human race…just wish some of that would rub off on the people of the US…can’t wait to see the photos!
