It has supposedly landed...but because it is millions and millions of miles away...it takes 30 minutes to receive any signal from the lander!

Amazing planning for this more than 10 years ago with 10 years old technology while controlling this getting feedback half an hour late and sending commands that will arrive half an hour later. Cannot help to say this but angmoh is really the best.

Hahaha its a soft landing, damper only moved 4cm much lesser than expected, problem now is the craft is still not anchored to the comet they will attempt again later to shoot the anchor
