I went to the link to read the whole article. At the end there was one comment.

DOES ANYONE UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT COMMENT SAYS ?

I hope that’s not an indicator of our up and coming generation.

On one hand, it would have been incredible for this project to have succeeded.

On the other hand, I did watch the landing live, and recall how arrogant the Europeans were when they boasted that their device had landed on the surface of the comet. Kind makes me feel good to see Philae fail after such a pompous display of Euro-superiority.
