Such exciting news. I'm beside myself with glee!
Lil washing machine sized Philae has been heavily on my mind the last couple of days- maybe he felt my vibes .

I've been watching this mission closely.
it'll be quite interesting to see what they do with Philae's location as it's wedged in a crevice. Bounce him out (unless the jets do it naturally) or leave him there as too risky with the jets. But either way- it's going to be toast soon come perihelion in August anyway right ? So maybe they'll take the risk in the name of science . Not forgetting that those unplanned bounces brought us heaps of great data.

Can't wait for the drilling to start- it's going to be their top priority.

P.S. I want a press conference. And I want one now!
