I'd probably go for something along the lines of "May these two worlds be now entwined by life and peace."

Now that I think of it, nobody has ever failed landing on a comet in real life, while lots have failed doing it in KSP.

You only know that she will be.

Hi and many thanks for the AMA. It's great to have you guys here!

  1. Congratulations on finding organic compounds on 67P! Is there enough data at the moment to find out whether there are more complex formations on the comet? Can Rosetta gather data about this on its own, while Philae is asleep?

  2. Is it possible to estimate when and what will be the lowest magnitude of 67P? Will the perihelion of 13 August next year coincide with the peak visibility or is proximity to Earth more important?

  3. What can the average redditor (programming literate or not) do to get involved and help the mission?

  4. Would knowing the exact location of Philae help waking it up earlier in some way?

  5. After contact is reestablished, will Philae be able to move out of shadows and explore new places? How much could the science data differ in these other places?
