In case your interested it's finally here, landing at 4:02 pm signal back roughly 4:30 pm, that's if it manages not to crash...
Personnaly been amazed at the pictures so far and I think this even if it ends in a crash has been a superb mission , Hollywood didn't even
dream up something so wild looking to land on. Would love to see some sort of car try to drive on this thing! how fast could go before bouncing clean
off into space?!
Mission Control Linky
Amazing! Things have moved on some, I still remember Sputnik.
I'm really looking forward to this one. As you say, even if it fails it's still a success. Fingers crossed it goes well.
They are down and so far so good.
Yes they are, but the thrusters, and harpoons did not work, so how long will it stay on is the next question
Whats lerking in the black hole on the end!?!?
Its amazing stuff. What will be more fascinating is when the get a probe on one of Jupiter's moons. There may be life on there!!

This is awesome, I can't quite work out the size of the thing though, but looking forward to seeing more of it

Any got a link to any pics of the landing etc, as for some reason, ive got no Video display at home?
Quite big then :O
Seeing the video of it spinning, it looked about the size of a house or something
5Km across apparently
Has the probe got suction cup feet? The gravity of a 5 km rock must be negligible.
