Science. It works, bitches.
The European Space Agency is giving up on trying to contact the lost Philae comet lander, which had an unexpectedly rough touchdown after its release 16 months ago from the orbiting Rosetta mothership.
"Unfortunately, the probability of Philae re-establishing contact with our team is almost zero, and we will no longer be sending any commands,"said project manager Stephan Ulamec, with the German Aerospace Center.

«К сожалению, вероятность возобновления связи с «Филы» близка к нулю, поэтому мы больше не будем посылать команды», – сказал менеджер проекта Стефан Уламек.
