I reckon it's moved from Comet to Currys/PC World.

Shame they didn't put a mirror on Rosetta to shine some sunlight onto it :smile

Somebody on Twitter last night asked ESA if they could use Rosetta to move the comet a bit, to get more light to Philae. Bless

There could be a Philae army out there preparing to march on us.

Ziety built it. Hence it needs regular long sleeps. It will now whine for a bit about "esteemed customers" before going back for another kip.
