So, Some Eurotrash Found A Comet

They spent 10 years chasing the thing down, and slammed into it today.  If the anchor points didn't work properly, there's a chance the lander will lose contact with the surface due to the microgravity of the comet.  Pretty amazing success so far, though, really, and a big chance for the ESA to rub NASA's nose in it.
