Topic: Comet Lander

The European Space Agency's Philae lander mission to Comet 67P is characterized as a "fail" after its anchoring harpoons failed to fire, causing it to bounce into a dark crevice. The hosts discuss the limitations of the 10-year-old battery and transmitter technology used in the spacecraft.

The media controversy surrounding Rosetta scientist Matt Taylor's "misogynistic" shirt is highlighted as a distraction from the technical failures of the comet landing. The hosts mock the "human interest" focus of the reporting while the lander remains sideways in the dark.
