Samain Closing Moon
This just posted on the NYT:
“The Philae has landed.
The European Space Agency’s ambitious attempt to place a spacecraft on the surface of a comet succeeded when a signal arrived at the mission control center at Darmstadt, Germany, just after 5 p.m . local time (11 a.m. Eastern time).
Cheers erupted.
“We’re there and Philae is talking to us,” said Stephan Ulamec, the manager for the lander. “We are on the comet.””
