:[00:50:00:]
:Rosetta: I don't think so.
:[01:25:00:]
:Rosetta: Ready to begin pre-delivery burn.
:[02:20:00:]
:Rosetta: We are ''go'' for separation!
:[02:25:00:]

:[03:40:00:]
:Time until lander separation: 25 Minutes
:[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
:Philae: Assuming comets even ''have'' insides!

:[12:50:00:]
:Philae: Not to obsess, but what do I do of I touch down on a big slab of rock? [separate dialogue] Pretty sure harpoons don't work on rock.
:Status report:
::Philae lander: Worried
:[12:55:00:]
:Rosetta: Don't worry - the rocks should be full of pockets where ice used to be. Your harpoons will crunch right through.
:Status report:
::Philae lander: Brave
:[13:00:00:]
:Rosetta: We think, anyway.
:Status report:
::Philae lander: Worried
:[13:10:00:]

:Rosetta: When you touch down, try not to accidentally balance on one foot. [separate dialogue] If you do, your harpoons won't fire.
:Status report:
::U.S. Scientists: "Bluuurghhh. What ''time'' is it?"
:[13:45:00:]
