Anyone watching the Rosetta comet landing?

Poor old Rosetta was deliberately crashed into the comet today, but not before sending back more stunning photographs.
Well done to the European Space Agency.
The whole mission is totally mind blowing.

Shortly after Rosetta stopped transmitting the Philae lander tweeted:

#Rosetta, is that you? #CometLanding

Those two little machines could be sitting on that comet wandering space for the next 5 billion years.
Well after all evidence of humans has gone from earth.

British built satellite, British scientists on the team. Don't think the ESA will be looking much like that in the future.

Oh well, we can always dust down Blue Streak.

My brother and I watched the moon landing back in 1969, while on holiday in Austria...... Neil Armstrong never waved..... Gave up on astronomy there and then.
