Call my cynical, but when I struggle at times to get a mobile phone signal in the centre of London, how the f@+k can we believe that a robot has landed on a comet 300,000,000 miles away and has sent a message to say it has arrived???  |

You could of course form ridiculous conspiracy theories about it not really happening despite every point of debate being countered.
It is amazing and we should spend more time pushing the boundaries instead of blowing the crap out of each other. |

It's amazing!! And not an American in sight!!
The pictures are going to be out of this world when they arrive!!
British engineering in there, it's fantastic news from top to bottom  |

Difference is there are not 100,000 other probes trying to send a text on the same radiowave.
Major achievement, may give some new understanding or just raise more questions |

An amazing achievement. Had to secretly watch at work. It is mind boggling that technology can do that but still can't determine when or when the malaysian plane ddisappeared. |

I picture the thruster guys being put in a corner with dunce caps on their heads.
" you guys had 10 years to get it right and then blew it at the last minute. You've let us down, you've let the mission down, but most of all you've let yourselves down."
Then the harpoons failed and those guys joined the thruster guys on the corner.....
Imagine, 10 years of planning and you had one button to press... |

This has been 25 years in the delivery.
I'm afraid I have chuckled every time the probe has been described as "the size of small washing machine".
Brilliant achievement and I wonder what it will lead to as new products and innovation we will see back here on Earth.

Did a lousy job then, when I tried to buy a tablet. I don't often make grammatical mistakes but I didn't spot that one! |

Yes it is amazing but for the money it cost could we not have put it to more use on earth.
If we do not look after this planet,it will not matter where life started,but it may well end sooner rather than later. |

"I'm just not sure I believe it, if someone can explain how we can transmit messages over 300,000,000 miles I would be grateful. I reckon there is a big hangar somehwere with a jazzed up washing machine looking like it is landing on a comet!! 
In don't believe in anything I couldn't build either, that's why nothing, except sandwiches, is real."
What happened to cake and custard? |
