67P

I was so excited by the Philae probe’s landing on Comet 67P. And so disappointed that it’s been unable to recharge its batteries. I hope it’ll be possible to revive the probe in future. How cool that, after a 10+ year mission, it did successfully land on a hunk of space ice. I also love that the probe was named after the Philae obelisk while its carrying satellite was named after the Rosetta Stone. Both were essential to the understanding and translation of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics.
