:Rosetta: Well it's been a fun 10 years together.
:[03:35:00:]
:Time until lander separation: 30 Minutes
:Rosetta: Well it's been a fun 10 years together.

:[03:45:00:]
:Time until lander separation: 20 Minutes
:Rosetta: Ok, turning on ''concert''. I'll send you signals through the comet, once you're down there, so we can measure what's inside it.
:[03:50:00:]
:Time until lander separation: 15 Minutes
:Rosetta: Ok, turning on ''concert''. I'll send you signals through the comet, once you're down there, so we can measure what's inside it.
:Philae: Assuming comets even ''have'' insides!
:Rosetta: I'm, uh, pretty sure they do.
:[03:55:00:]
