"Rosetta launched in 2004 and will arrive at comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on 6 August. It will be the first mission in history to rendezvous with a comet, escort it as it orbits the Sun, and deploy a lander to its surface. Rosetta is an ESA mission with contributions from its member states and NASA. Rosetta's Philae lander is provided by a consortium led by DLR, MPS, CNES and ASI."

Here is a video that shows Rosetta's journey from 2004 to present

Amazing technology and achievement. I wonder can NASA can probably use the speed of comets to travel faster through the solar system.

That shyt was calculated over 10 years ago and is being executed almost to perfect precision based on calculations.

That thing was sent 10 fukking years ago, traveled nearly 4 billion miles, including 3 orbits around the Earth and one around Mars to allow it to reach a proper speed to rendezvous. Can you imagine what our ancestors would say to something like this?

How big is it? :lupe:

I've seen a lot of videos on youtube saying there are ufos and buildings on it.I can't even find any good informative videos about it because of all that bullish*t on there.

Kill everyone and anyone associated with this affront to [God or Gods] lest we be punished with droughts or famine for our audacity.
