I find it amazing that they will be able to orbit it, I wouldn't have thought that this tiny lump would have enough gravity for this, plus it's such an odd shape the gravity will be a bit strange, not nice and even like on a sphere. I did read they are going to start out with a distant orbit then slowly get closer so I suppose this will give them a chance to work out the problems. The first results show that it is about 20 C hotter than predicted, probably due to the surface being "dirty" not nice white ice, I can't wait to see what other surprises they find when (if) they get the lander down in November.
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.
Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
