      Yes, that was cool. The thing about that kind of stuff is that the physics behind it is really simple, but the engineering to make it actually happen is very difficult. Same as putting a man on the moon – it really showed what engineers can do.

      It’s amazing! I’d say a lot of people involved were popping open champagne to celebrate! It’s exciting to think that science and engineering is constantly changing & learning. Hopefully it will collect some interesting information for us

      It was excellent. The first time in human history that something was landed on a comet. Projects like that really show how cool science and engineering can be.
