On November 12th, after a decade long journey of almost 7 billion kilometres, ESA (The European Space Agency) is going to try to land on a comet - that’s a comet traveling 40 times faster than a speeding bullet, with their Rosetta spacecraft that will deploy the Philae lander on the surface of a tiny, spinning, comet called the 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko aka Comet 67P/C-G.
