I hear clapping and I don't hear bouncing.

Don't quit on me now, ESA.

Interesting fact is that (maybe, hopeful) Philae is landed on the comet, but that we need to wait around a half hour for the answer on that question.

Go Philae, you can do this after years of waiting!

Same was with Curiosity, the so called "7 Minutes of Terror" was actually happening already 7 mimutes after the actual landing

 

[Fabri91]

Everyone's serious now.

 

[Izack]

The staff are grinning! It seems that Philae is down!

 

[SolarLiner]

Philae is down but with the right way up!

I HEAR MORE CLAPPING

I LIKE CLAPPING

---------- Post added at 09:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 AM ----------

"Philae is talking to us"

"Harpoons have fired"

"We are on the comet"

 

[SolarLiner]

Clapping is good!
Landing is confirmed by telemetry

 

[Izack]

"We are on the comet!"

THAT SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD TO ME!

Yea, such nervous minutes.

Looks like Philae landed, it landed, IT DID!!!

Good morning, O-F. Time for bed. But should I wait for the pictures?

Yes.

It's not over until we get pictures or data from the surface...

Congratulations to the Rosetta team and to the ESA.

Definitely! That will be the best part!

 

[C3PO]

Congratulations. Well done!!!

DSN now shows the Rosetta link on the DSS 55 antenna receiving @ 32.77 kb/sec.

I can't wait to see the snapshots. :thumbup:

 

[Unstung]

I expect there to be beautiful photos on here the next time I go online. Don't let me down, guys.

 

[boogabooga]

Wait, anchors may not have deployed...

Philae landed, but will it stay in place?

May take a while for really good pictures then. 32.77 kb/sec ~ 4.1 KB/sec, which is slower than dial-up.

And, as usual, the genius designers at Kerbal HQ have sent a ship 6 billion km before realising they forgot the landing gear...
