The faces of the mission specialists as they receive confirmation that Philae landed successfully on 67P is super awesome. 02:59:55 in the livestream

TRIUMPH
Wow.
Yeah, science bitch!
Nice job sticking the landing!
My dad worked on the MIRO for Rosetta a long time ago, he's very proud and happy for the landing. I'm also proud!
Fucking incredible. We landed a spacecraft on a comet.
That's nice. But I traveled across space and time, today.
I was hearing today about Philae trying to land. There was mention that the first attempt resulted in a bounce off of the surface, with a second attempt producing a much smaller bounce, and the anchoring harpoon not deploying when it should have.
This made me think of the first time I was exposed to human intercourse.
I'm traveling through space and time RIGHT NOW.
I was traveling through space and time before it was cool.
This took longer than I thought:

Philae's battery is almost as good as the typical iPhone battery....
Sorry for the bad joke
I'm not sorry
