Absent's posts are amazing. They are so over the top racist that I end up laughing my ass off. Thanks for the laughs rofl

It's like watching archie bunker sometimes

probe may be upside down or on its side....and may be in darkness, which means it only has 30 hours of battery until it gets closer to the sun in a couple of months

It was probably some french fags fault

Say what you want, but I love Randal's sense of both humor and wonder in this "animation."

BRB: Ordering a new work shirt printed with pictures of guys undergoing ball torture. I think it will really improve office morale.

Maybe it was take your daughter to work day or something.

The Rosetta comet is singing: as the orbiter approaches, the ESA uploads audio of the comet's warbling magnetic 'song' - Science - News - The Independent




#wow

it really shouldn't be surprising. comets are electrical phenomenon. hopefully this lander will finally confirm that to the average myoptic physicist who still believes in the frozen snowball theory.

dude, robot is fucked already. it landed next to a fall and its support beams didn't work.. lol.. I guess shits made 10 years ago sucks

To be fair it is more fun blowing whales up yourself

when They self explode it's not as satisfying.

how awesome does this look?

Robot si fucked?? Source?

yes- it's confirmed:

Philae's Bad Landing Turns the Rosetta Mission Into a Race Against Time

It was a historic landing on a comet, but unfortunately, not a smooth one. The ESA confirmed that Rosetta's lander, Philae, bounced twice and ultimately ended up sideways in the shadow of a cliff, where its solar panels can't gather enough energy. When Philae's battery dies, the mission will die with it.

sucks...

The problem began, it seems, when Philae touched down on the comet for the first time, but its harpoons did not fire to anchor the lander. The comet's gravity is 100,000 times weaker than Earth's, so Philae bounced more than half a mile into space before setting down, only to bounce a second time. Now, the ESA thinks Philae is sitting on its side, with one of its three feet in the air, at the bottom of a cliff.
