A pretty monumental step into space exploration, certainly has me excited for what the future may hold.
Also a very well written article Dentari

Lovely article
I've been reading and watching coverage on this all evening, this achievement is thrilling! It may not be as dramatic as putting people in space but I'm hopeful the information gathered by this probe will represent another giant leap.

This is how the BBC showed what the surface might be like before the landing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aBWi9aPggo
Google also got a doodle out pretty quick! http://www.google.com/doodles/philae...movgerasimenko
It's certainly good news and hopefully might bring some enthusiasm back to space exploration, on the back of two recent disasters, a third could have hurt future development. It will no doubt need to be repeated a few more times before a manned mission is considered. But all in all, we just need to keep going forward, to the stars!

An incredible undertaking made possible through the cooperation by a multitude of countries. Really does what can be achieved when we put petty issues aside for the sake of achieving a common goal...
An interesting note that isn't mentioned in the front page article or this thread thus far, the 67P comet has been emitting radiowaves for a long time, that's actually what led to the discovery of the comet. Read this blog article to learn more and actually hear the sounds!!

Awesome article, although I have one factual error to point out (sorry!)
The lander's actual name was Philae, not Rosetta. That, in fact, was the name of the actual satelite/craft that carried the lander along (as you stated, the orbiter).
