I think he's about to play the five tones

Pizza place has run out of pepperoni.

It's ESA so no imperial measuring Yankies to mess it up.

I feel like a kid again in the back seat of the car "Are we there yet?"

Edit: Lots of smiling faces on the live feed.

It's about 15 seconds behind. Maybe to allow for any swearing to be edited?

haha. there are Yankie bits on there 😉 (at least on the orbiter)

this isnt like the movies where 4 or 5 Hot scientists push buttons at the the last seconds to avoid a catastrophe!

so, do we think anything will happen before 5pm? 😆

They are phoning for International Rescue now.

TOUCHDOWN!!

Makes accessing your PC remotely seem a bit naf really!

****ing BT lost my Internet.

Hope the landed on the right one 🙂

Team America are better

oh no they think it floated off?

Bet its a staged thing, just like the last moon landings... its all happening in a secret underground volcano theatre..

I've been helping out but it's pretty tricky:

They look happy, looks like successful landing

Feed is down 🙁

Definitely confirmed lander is on the surface

heard clapping from the next room, and my office neighbour said somehting about the legs and harpoons working.

Ha ha at last! Well done meister

dunno how long it takes for first images.
and my contact is probably in a control room (although he's the guy that does the orbiter images)

First pic! oh god no....

@andytherocketeer You're in the unique position now of being able to answer the "What tyres for a comet?" question..

[quote=andytherocketeer ]dunno how long it takes for first images.
I think we were expecting around 2 hours

@WackoAK LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"What tyres for a comet?"

"What suspension rebound settings for a comet?"

Have I missed pictures?

No pics for a couple of hours.

I for one welcome our new alien overlords.

From what I've seen so far, actually looks quite civilized:
