RE: Now: Philae separation from Rosetta, waiting for confirmation
Well, tip of the hat to Europe and let's throw in India as well for their successful Mars mission which also didn't get much coverage in the American media.

Meanwhile, we outsource and watch rockets blow up.

Clearly, if science is to advance the US is not going to lead the way. Too busy giving tax breaks to billionaires.
