So no ice is visible, and no ice is confirmed, and no ice can survive a close encounter with the sun, but because the drill (made, no doubt, out of tungsten), couldn’t penetrate more than a few milimeters, the hardness of what stopped that drill is somehow comparable to ice, and therefore despite all the rock and dust, and not confirming ice, and not seeing any ice - it’s ice.

M’kay. Next mission.

I imagine they knew it was ice before they left Earth. It is, after all, a comet.

Exactly, they cannot come to grips with their mythology that these comets are NOT ice. It is obvious to me, they are bedrock, and that is why the ice harpoons failed, they probably bounced off like Philae.

Maybe the next comet mission should include magnets on the probes “legs” and maybe they will not bounce?

An amazing example of confirmation bias, one of the best I've ever seen. What I find amazing is they supposedly included a drill designed to penetrate water ice, yet now claim that it has FAILED to even make more than a few measly millimeters into the ice for which it was intended to easily sample (!) below the fine dust (which the Electric Universe cosmologist's predicted would be there and is NOT accounted for in the gravity driven cosmologist's model which calls for a re solidified ice surface). They also claim yesterday the drill had penetrated 14" into the surface. . . But that MUST have been the dust before they hit the hard "ice" that is too hard for their ice drill to penetrate! Then, they've claim to have calculated the density of the comet from its gravity field and determined it about 1/3 that of water. . . But how can that be? I have lots of questions about this mission that just don't seem to comport with what they are telling us.

Well, this will do for an Electric Universe PING!

If you want on or off the Electric Universe Ping List, Freepmail me.

There is plenty of water ice in the comet nucleus. Look at the data presented here.
