Think it takes less time to land a probe on a lump of space rock than it does to navigate the M25 at rush hour.

I love physics (hence the study of it), but this Rosetta mission is mind bending beyond believe. I'd of love to been at the coffee morning when someone spoke allowed "Shall we try landing a probe on a tiny lump of move rock, for a bit of research?".
