Over 10 years ago…
“So, see, what we wanna do, people, is land a spacecraft on a comet…”
“You’re joking.”
“No.”
10 years ago we launched that spacecraft.
And today, November 12, 2014, we made history.
We landed a spacecraft on a comet 310 million miles from earth!
Just incredible.
Congratulations, humans.
