So, the Eagle has landed. Now we will see if it still works!
They were hoping for a view "to the horizon" but seem to be getting just a very short line of sight.
I wonder if slender rods extended by solenoids in a variety of directions from the lander would have been able to make it move around to different places/vantages? They could be almost like needles and still be stiff enough to lift the lander, given the microgravity.
Originally posted by whodey It landed on a rather small object some 317 million miles away traveling thousands of miles an hour.
Amazing.
That reminds me, does Obama have his health care web site up and working properly yet? 😛
Of course not. All you conservatives have made sure that funds to NASA and all research in the US has been cut so the 1% can buy another tropical island. Many US citizens chock full of brains and ambition to do research have fled for more friendly industrialized countries both north of the US border and across the pond.

Rumor has it they landed some cargo on the comet placed there by Obama.
Apparently it is golf clubs and golf balls for his peeps on planet Marx.
