So exciting! Can't wait for the Philae landing. Going to be a tremendous event in space exploration. My post-doc position is going to be closely tied to Rosetta and future missions to asteroids, so I'm hoping for the best! Interplanetary missions in Europe have taken hits from cuts in funding and various political problems, so this will be a great boost for the industry as a whole.
