Tomorrow earthlings will land a craft on a comet

A quite remarkable milestone in human history, I think. Another step further into the universe.

I know this will be carried on Dish channel 193 (SCI). You can get more information in the following article:

I have become blase about many things, but space exploration still gets me excited and filled with awe at what scientists can accomplish. Those men and women can not only find a needle in a haystack, but thread it from across a universe. Best of luck to Philae in this endeavor!
