Ladies and Gentleman, humans of the human race, we have done it.
Congratulations.
In what will confuse alien explorers and scientists for millennia, we have placed evidence of human civilization on a flying comet.
Everybody say, "Yay!"
Everybody: "Um, that was yesterday's news. You're a little behind the times, sweetie."
No no no, I'm not done.
Today's news is that the lander, Philae, has now sent back the first ever photo of a comet, taken from the surface of a comet!!!
Everybody: "YAY!!!"
That's right, ladies and gentlemen, straight from 28 light minutes away, we have a picture of - you'll never believe it - a ROCK!
I'm sure scientists may already have had an inkling that comets were not, in fact, made of gumdrops, crystallized dragon turds, or actual Comet. But Philae has confirmed it; comets are actually made of rock.
Nevertheless, being equipped with sample collection equipment, as well as a processing lab, Philae will soon be double checking, by performing chemical analysis on the rock, to make sure it isn't actually fossilized dragon turd.
I look forward to finding out the results.
Don't you?
