Pfft the Wings pwnd the Comets
-
crazy partying offshore oil drillers actually did it. wow.
-
Sounds made up.
-
Wish it was NASA
-
What if this awakes the bad transformers? :ohno:
-
Wait, its just a robot landing? Meh. Wake me up when its people.
-
So they spent how many tens of millions to do this just to find out it is a giant ball of ice and dirt?
-
You laugh now, but when they find that gundam in there you won't be laughing for long.
-
My department head is strutting around like a goddamned peacock today because he worked on this project at his last job.

Still pretty neat. And it gives the Europeans something to be proud of. :cheers:

Tails up bro, tails up.

uh oh guys....
-
Pics or it never happened.

Radio said if it lands on something that makes it tip on it's side, the mission is a loss. Can we fire the engineer that models machines after turtles?

See, now if we had a human being piloting the thing, this wouldn't be an issue.
-
Is this thing mumped already? Where Ben Affleck to save the day?
-
Where Ben Affleck to save the day?
Uhm, no. This isn't an asteroid. We need Robert Duvall for this bad boy.

This is correct
-
guys, if Robet Duval lands on uneven ground, he will also tip over on his side, and will also not be able to get up.

you missed a really great opportunity here, Tobias

True. Good thing Frodo is somewhere back on earth to keep things calm. Plus, President Morgan Freeman gives me comfort.
-
Is this being filmed in the same studio they did the moon landing in?
-

are you kidding me? this is rough ridin' awesome. plus in the future if a comet if going to blast the human race, hypothetically we can land on it and divert it or whatever.
-
Until we put people on the Moon/Mars, don't care.
-
We need to increase NASA funding to kick the ESA's ass.
-
We should take half of NASA's budget and offer it as an X Prize type thing to private companies.
-

Agreed. Divert the cash from welfare checks to re-building a kickass space program that kicks the moon and mars's collective metaphorical asses.

This isnt the Pit.
-
Seems like there was a really wasted send-them-to-the-moon moment, here.
-
grat job hemmy and CNS, way to send this hurdling towards the pit....
-
If this thread lands on The Pit, they say it will fall on it's side and the mission will be a loss.
-
If this thread really was hurtling towards The Pit at least we know the ESA could send a probe to intercept and possibly steer it back to safety.
-

Says the ESA spy. Probably a communist too. Get out!
-
I don't see why we even need to have nasa anymore. Space is a waste of money.
Good for Europe tho!
-
this is a great day for humanity and all you guys can talk about is politics and crap, pretty sad the state of mind all of you guys are in. i for one am pretty rough ridin' jacked that this happened today.
-
Did you guys see Kim's ass?

Yo Adrian, we did it!
-
What are we looking at here? Did the damned thing really fall over on its side? I thought we were going to get a neat panorama shot or something. Also, is there a video of the touchdown?

I am assuming that the thing in the photo is the robot and that Robert Duval took this pic.
-
B+W? srsly? :lol:
-
That thing looks extremely boring. :zzz:
-
NASA would def had HD color up there. Europe.....

Poor guy landed on his side. Welp.
-
Did you guys see the pictures of Robert Duval's ass?
-
caught that buried in an archive of the fappening
-
what's up with the comit stuff? who gives two fucks about it b/c i don't. not a question.
land a starship on a new earth and i might read the story on cnn.com otherwise don't clog up my bbs with this crap
-
So I guess nobody during the design phase asked the question "what if, after a 10 year journey and hundreds of millions of dollars, this dishwasher sitting precariously on top of an awkward tripod lands on it's side?" I think that if at least one normal, non-engineer person was involved in designing this thing, it would have been equiped with a GoPro, a cupholder, and a mechanism for flipping over.

the comet is singing :runaway:

Now we just need to put a robot on Haley's comet next time it runs around, and let it log data as it travels across the universe. Then we can launch another robot to collect the data next time the comet gets close. We would see all kinds of cool crap I bet.
-
Pretty great idea
-
Have they figured out what it's made of, yet?

You would have to be in a coma to miss it!
-
I bet it's in black and white

What if the landing changed the trajectory? :horrorsurprise:
