What kind of emotions did you perceive during the last minutes before the lander's touchdown? I was watching live stream with some of you and it looked like a total anxiety and laughter, interchangeably. How did your attitude evolved during the project's life?

I'm really curious, because despite I've just started to pursue my scientific career, I've found it's quite hard not to get emotional about even basic projects. (quite different field though, I'm an MD)

It has been said, that Philae will be revived, once the comet gets closer to the sun. But since there is nothing that anchors the lander to the nucleus, is it possible it will become unstable or detached by the gases (or other material) released from the heated comet's surface?
