Preparing for #CometLanding

This is history in the making folks! If this mission is successful, it could be the key to unlocking answers about the formation of the Solar System, the origins of water on Planet Earth and maybe even life itself! 
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. Watch the short introductory animated video by ESA below:
