It survived launching. It survived two years in space. What else do
you want?

A landing? I'd blame the lack of budget to make that happen on the $200B
squandered on the biggest astronomical white elephant of all time, the ISS,
but Rosetta was European.


Well, the ISS will walk the path in pieces or as a whole of the Skylab
and Mir and if I was a betting man thenI would bet that it will be
spectacular.
