one of the things i find most moving about space exploration is that you literally can't do it on your own. it requires a team.

and then you get dudes like that.

xxp Thanks! That all makes sense. I guess it's more that if you had asked me before yesterday, Have we ever landed anything on a comet, I probably would have been like, Idk, surely we must have by now?

Anyway. Comets!

previously we had smashed like a ton of copper into a comet for the lols, but that was recent

the guy fieri of science xposts

feel like the fact that europe gently landed a spacecraft on a comet, while america fired a lump of metal into a comet and named the mission after a movie is a metaphor for something

first bounce took 2 hours, eh

planets are made out of comets

electricity comes from other planets

Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

Yeah, I guess "Halley" was taken, after all.

feel like this is generally interesting as far as technology/knowledge, like its unfathomable that someone could be smart enough to figure out how to send a lil dude through space for ten years and land on this guy so far away, but really no one is that smart

jesus was an alien

Planets are made out of comets and comets are made out of stars

Yeah I mean it's kind of a trivial statement that one person can't physically build a space mission, like one person can't build a cathedral.

But yeah more interesting is the fact that one person cannot conceive a space mission or hold it in their head.

Systems thinking

Jesus was an alien though it's true

only 90s kids will understand

they are all made of stars

humans evolved from fungus spores that floated here through space

will never be able to hear this phrase without thinking about liverpool tickets fiasco

are you LISTENING

me too, that fiasco tainted my enjoyment of yesterday definitely

here is some good SYSTEMS THINKING

http://i.imgur.com/xfGY0Fb.jpg

what was the ticket fiasco

Liverpool Tickets Fiasco

oh man joe you are in for a classic incomprehensible british humor/dj martian clowning/ronan and gareth at their finest treat

Liverpool Tickets Fiasco

What a mess !
A comet is hard to land on !

Systems Thinking can solve this problem:

analyse the problem then find solutions in a holistic manner

thick bastard !

alrighty will give it a lookyloo m8s

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_thinking ha it's actually a term of art, not a djm original?

Yes! It's a big social engineering/human behavior thing!

lmaooo this really lived up to the hype cheers

systems thinking is basically like when you call comcast and they tell you to unplug the modem, wait 30 seconds, then plug it back in

SVEN and TORD unaware of SYSTEMS GOTHWAVE/IDM DEVELOPMENTS. still playing KAISER CHIEFS in DRESSING ROOM... KRAUTS AND SPICS make us LAUGHING STOCK. Barwick needs to act NOW. VINI REILLY must be installed as ROBOT PRIME MINISTER

\(O_O)/

caek i enjoyed your pretty diagram thing there. are we still in contact with any of those fellows heading out into interstellar space? i do not know how anything works.

caek did you like TARS or CASE more

i couldn't tell them apart?

xxp plenty

new horizons is going strong: reaches pluto next year, first time we've gone there, that is going to be a big deal

opportuntity has been tooling around on mars for for 10+ years (which is amazing because it was supposed to work for 90 days)

also voyager 1 which was discovered in the first star trek movie is still going after 40 years

v cool, ty

Think at least one of these fellows recently did a flyby of Uranus
