Wake up Rosetta!

[sawtooth]

Well yesterday I committed the most heinous act of basking in reflected glory!
Sat in A&E with Mrs Sawtooth (another story) we were watching the Beeb News on the waiting room telly, and the Rosetta feature (with Trapezium Artist) came on. My cries of 'I know that guy! I've had a curry with him!' were not best appreciated by the other queuing patients...

Anyway Mark, whatever happens in the next few hours you should all be bloody proud of yourselves for this amazing achievement. Well done.

Just heard TA on Radio 4!

Yep. Today programme at about 830. All activity in the house was hushed as soon as I heard mention of Rosetta, then ceased entirely when I heard TA's name.
Nicely, clearly articulated, Mr Artist.
I'm seriously proud to know you!

Anyway Mark, whatever happens in the next few hours you should all be bloody proud of yourselves for this amazing achievement. Well done.

Hear, hear!

Our TA on the BBC website talking about the comet's structure:

So...with the comet being icy, and there possibly being jets of gas coming off the comet at some point, if they were to condense on Philae, would it get frost(*)y?

Just seen TA on the livestream - a brain the size of the planet, and they get him to read out tweets 

I'm wondering if he's going to get a tattoo to match his colleague Matt Taylor's when the landing is successful?

[owen]

Get in there! Well done TA! (And your minions,too)

[MikeEvs]

Congratulations on a successful landing on 67P 

Really pleased for you TA and everyone involved

[sawtooth]

REALLY chuffed to bits for you all TA! 

[JimD]

Great achievement - it's bloody cool! 

[Mordwin]

There are a few occasions* when the human race does something wonderful (in it's most literal sense). Congratulations to all those who made today's example happen.

* (Outwith Frost* gigs of course )

Personally, I don't see what all the fuss is about - I mean, it's hardly rocket science. Oh.. 

Seriously though, great stuff TA. I'm really pleased for you and the team. Looking forward to seeing the pictures from a comet.

[Pedro]

What they said.

[Rook]

High five!

[lyn]

As exciting as the moon landings and then some!
That rocks! So cool...

[RacingHippo]

'Nuff said.
