A Space Probe has just landed on a Comet and has just started beaming pictures back, so far a Washing Machine, two Televisions and a Microwave Oven have been spotted as well as old carpets bits of wood and bricks and a copy of the Daily Mail Ex 2010 Freelander2 GS-e Diesel manual Silver owner

And an asda trolley Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

Just think, a Freelander on the comet would weigh only 6 ounces (the mass would be the same so no difference in 0-60 performance if you take some air). I wonder what traction setting would be best?

I suspect there would be a huge difference in the 0-60 time, as with only 6oz on the wheels you'd just sit there with the wheels spinning uselessly!

Besides, it's only a couple of miles across - walk you lazy so and so.

Don't forget that with no air resistance the top speed should be higher although I understand that the escape velocity from the surface is only 0.5 metres/sec so it would be a bit of a one way trip. Hill descent control would be interesting though.

Wonder if they'll find the Clangers?
Even my Dad watched it!

One step closer to landing Bruce Willis on a comet, where he can drill a hole and drop a nuke down  LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

A craft the size of a fridge lands on a comet. In t'old days, fridges would come FROM Comet... ...

They gave it a 60 hour battery and solar power, now its landed in a shadow

So they can control, receive pictures & communications from a machine 300 Million miles away yet on Planet Earth our super fantastic mobile phone companies can't even connect you to the next town!! (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.

Not sure I heard this properly on the radio but did they say that a Philae Lander was on the comet? What sort of Freelander is that?

My wife said she thought it was me when she misheard philanderer in comet
