The Philae lander has sent pictures of the comet "tchouri" us. The only downside to this major breakthrough for space research, harpoons the lander did not work. Clearly, it is not anchored to the surface.
Our correspondent visited the space center in Darmstadt, Germany, to meet with one of the project leaders. "I am proud of the people who worked on this machine. This is proof of what can be done internationally, that cooperation can give. Not only in Europe but also in the world, "says the scientist Matt Taylor.
And when asked if he has a message for Philae, he replied: "Congratulations, you have arrived there. Now doing research for us, we remember. "
"What happened this Nov. 12, half a billion miles from Earth, is an outstanding success. A small step in the sidereal space for this lander, but a big step for science and knowledge of space. The team of ESA won a round. It is now the module to lift the veil on one of the greatest mysteries of the origin of life, "concludes our special correspondent Claudio Rosmino.
