I think that we have to wait a few weeks for the actual landing on the surface as I think that Rosetta is going to circle the comet for a few weeks mapping & sampling before the lander casts off...but it is still quite a feat...lets just hope that we never go there in a 'Armageddon' scenario...LOL & that Bruce Willis is NOT on holiday at the time. ;)

Sorry...but I have to correct this famous grammatical faux pas...it should be 'to go boldly...' not 'to boldly go...' as one cannot boldly go somewhere...arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh ;)

Actually, Anthony...you quoted the line from the program correctly...it is just that the screenwriters, etc., where not any good at grammer...that is all...as I said...you were correct, they were not...:D

Except Bruce everyone else was on holiday. Did it matter? They were picked up and put together. It will also not matter if something arises like happens.;)
