Comet landing already a disaster, say parking bores
MEN who claim to know about parking have been strongly critical of the techniques being used to place the Philae lander on a comet. 36-year-old Stephen Malley, who is following events online, said: âNo, no, no, no. They are using way too much thruster. âFoot off the thruster! Jesus christ, itâs worse than watching my wife reverse into a space at Morrisonâs, which she absolutely cannot do without me having to take over and humiliate her.â Self-styled parking expert Roy Hobbs said: âWhoeverâs steering that lander wants to get their left hand down. âThey need the lander steering on full lock otherwiseâ¦no I canât watch. This is terrible. âI could land any lander on any comet, itâs just common sense really.â
