        Amazing. When I was five years old we launched the first space shuttle. When my eldest was five we landed on a comet. Amazing.

            Was watching the news last night to see what the status was but went to sleep before the "go" was given.

                  It was updating in real time as it was in the landing process.

                    It will be really exciting once data about the comet starts coming back to us. We will potentially be learning a lot.

                          I like the mod where she's a centaur best. Too freaking funny!
