This photo from Philae shows the surface during the lander's approach Continue reading the main story European robot probe Philae has made the first, historic landing on a comet, after descending from its mothership. The landing on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was confirmed at about 1605 GMT. There were cheers and hugs at the control room in Darmstadt, Germany, after the signal was confirmed. It was designed to shine a light on some of the mysteries of these icy relics from the formation of the Solar System. The landing caps a 6.4 billion-kilometre journey that was begun a decade ago.

When I was young I found Marshal McLuhan helpful with big ideas. He said he was really just interpreting James Joyce. He also felt Finnegan's Wake to be the most important book ever written. I have never understood a word Joyce wrote. But I was able to get good ideas from McLuhan after chewing on them a while. Thomas Wolfe once said about McLuhan: "He hits very big nails not quite on the head". McLuhan might have said that about Wolfe :>) The Electric Kool Aid Acid test was a great book by Wolfe.
