  2. It is incredible. Everything has worked so well. However, I recently read that even if 67P had been a sphere the probability of a successful landing was 70-75% - ONLY. That is great in astronomy but not so good for Philae. And 67P has increased its activity. This will be a very rough ride for Rosetta to get into position and then a rough descent for Philae.
