Keep us posted with updates!
I see it's due to land at 1600 hrs GMT so I wont be watching just yet.

Ooh, there's a gloriously named Dr István Apáthy, who's the SESAME Co-ordinator.

Anyhow, I just read that there's a ''lander event'' at 11:55 UTC

Well they are applauding something.

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.

To be fair, he was probably too busy pulling a moony at Buzz Aldrin.

Most people watched the moon landing on television.

One of the tweets says that a probe is landing on a comet controlled by Germany
Not content with Gran Canaria, those damn Germans even got their bleedin' towels in first again on a comet!

Pah! Old news. Bruce and Billy Bob did that years ago. You people really need to keep with the programme.

Is Miss Goodbody excited about the re-entry of your probe?

On Radio 4's Today programme this morning they said that "we'll be there". Kudos to the OB team (assume Bruce Willis is taking them?)but must have cost the BBC a fortune.
