And I'm proud to be a nerd. Back me up here @@Astronomer . Isn't this f'ing amazing! We can land on a comet now! Absolutely amazing! Think about it: We shot a missile over 600 million miles to precisely intercept the orbit of a tiny piece of dust, after sling-shotting it with gravitational assists from 2 other planets (having precisely calculated their masses - think on how difficult this is). This should have been a live-broadcast on all TV channels! The precision calculations involved here, and the pure validation of what we have discovered about gravity, of motion, of physics, is a major, MAJOR, achievement. Not to mention that we - humankind - LANDED ON A COMET! Folks, this is rocket -science! Olive, hxtr, eidolonFIRE and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Shows you how limited peoples imaginations are today. If it ain't fake in a video game or fake hollywood movie it is a no investigated. Sad... this is an amazing event.

(except the hard on part) Whereas this type of amazing achievement is often considered "nerdish" the intelligence involved in performing such a task is unbelievable to say the least. Shoot a washing machine sized object into space and land it on a rock in space 10 years later?? . . . . well . . THAT JUST KICKS ASS!!!
