Just wanted to let you guys know Philae is about to detach from Rosetta and make the first controlled (i.e. hopefully not crash) landing on a comet.

The ESA has a live stream of the event here http://rosetta.esa.int/

Going to work in a hoodie while watching spaceships? Nice job if you can get it!

EVE needs harpoons. Somehow.

It seems the harpoons didn't fire.

Followed link to watch a lander landing, watched others watching the lander landing instead. What?

So, you're a bounty hunter. No, that ain't it at all. Then what are you? I'm a bounty hunter.

Seems like the natural counter to the Dominix.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

ESA said that there was a strange sound coming from the comet similar to the clicking sound that the Predator makes.
