** The Official Space Flight Thread - The Space Station and Beyond **

Looks like they're going to cry. Bad month for space exploration if it failed.

Why? We tried something never done before in a logistical operation that took an awful lot of planning and work. If it has failed I agree that the outcome will not be the happy ending people are hoping for but I still think it's bloody exciting.

[Spook187]

Well done, money well spent for the quest of knowledge

 

[V-Spec]

Amazing.

 

[chief barker]

What a massive human achievement.

 

[Glaucus]

Amazing achievement,
Even more amazing is this wasn't the intended comet and the hibernation wasn't planned on the original target comet, but launch got delayed.

A great moment in history.

 

[Cosimo]

What an amazing achievement. Up there with the moon landings.
