Comet 67P

3 days ago I watched and loved Interstellar and there was a line "Mankind was born on Earth. It was never meant to die here." Ok, was that 2 lines? Space exploraration fascinates me, despite not being an expert, and I am certain it is the future for mankind.

It's amazing that Comet 67P was discovered 45 years ago, the Rosetta spacecraft was launched 10 years ago, and today the lander Philae touched down on it, although it is probably hanging on for dear life. In the big picture, this is a "big thing" and another major achievement, however it goes from here.

It's just a shame things take so long, what we need are some wormholes...
