    Geeks Land (Anal) Probe On A Comet - Homeless People Everywhere Rejoice

    (Reuters) - The European Space Agency landed a probe on a comet on Wednesday, a first in space exploration and the climax of a 10-year-odyssey, but an anchoring system problem may hamper planned investigations into the origins of Earth and the solar system.


    Rosetta reached the comet, a roughly 3-by-5 km rock discovered in 1969, in August after a journey of 6.4 billion km that took 10 years, five months and four days - a mission that cost close to 1.4 billion euros ($1.8 billion).

    Meanwhile, with 1.8 BILLION spent to land of piece of shit on a space rock homeless people everywhere celebrate

    "Yay! Says here 1.8 billion was put to good use."

    Last week, the Pentagon told you the costs of the war on terror had eclipsed $1 trillion. Wednesday morning, a panel of academics experienced in war accounting says that's only a down payment — and that its real, total cost is around $5 trillion.

    Sorry, we were trying to stop you lot spending everything on really useful shit

    You don't have to stretch the imagination very hard to find the answer... there's about 1800 spin-off technologies that we use everyday that are a result of technologies developed by NASA for space flight that have been adapted into commercial products. Here's a few...


    Artificial limbs
    Baby formula
    Cell-phone cameras
    Computer mouse
    Cordless tools
    Ear thermometer
    Firefighter gear
    Freeze-dried food
    Golf clubs
    Long-distance communication
    Invisible braces
    MRI and CAT scans
    Memory foam
    Safer highways
    Solar panels
    Shoe insoles
    Ski boots
    Adjustable smoke detector
    Water filters
    UV-blocking sunglasses

    Krusty is just mad because his welfare check was canceled because the money was diverted to foreign aid to pay the ESA 1.8 billion dollars.

    The Philae lander has detected organic molecules on the surface of its comet, scientists have confirmed.

    Carbon-containing "organics" are the basis of life on Earth and may give clues to chemical ingredients delivered to our planet early in its history.

    The compounds were picked up by a German-built instrument designed to "sniff" the comet's thin atmosphere.

    Other analyses suggest the comet's surface is largely water-ice covered with a thin dust layer.

    Philae touched down on the Comet 67P on 12 November after a 10-year journey.

    Dr Fred Goessmann, principal investigator on the Cosac instrument, which made the organics detection, confirmed the find to BBC News. But he added that the team was still trying to interpret the results.

    It has not been disclosed which molecules have been found, or how complex they are.

    But the results are likely to provide insights into the possible role of comets in contributing some of the chemical building blocks to the primordial mix from which life evolved on the early Earth.
