− | + | Frames of the comic began appearing at midnight ({{w|Eastern Time Zone|EST}}) on November 12, 2014 and updated every five minutes. Together, the images form a {{w|flip book}} which is shown here above. You can find the individual images by clicking on the latest image of the comic on xkcd (go to that by clicking the date above or find it directly at [http://xkcd1446.org xkcd1446.org]). | |

Beginning at [[Media:???65.png|11:05:00]], the comic includes a "Status Report" in the lower right corner which summarizes the status of various interested parties and accomplishments, beginning with "Rosetta", "Philae lander", "Mission Control", "Comet 67P", and "Have we landed on a comet?". As events occur in the comic, more status summaries are added to keep track of the changes to the situation and the supposed emotions behind them. |
− | + | In many pictures a whale can be seen on the surface of the comet - often marked with a "?" as are almost all other parts of the unknown surface. There is also drawn a [[Cueball]] on the surface... Whales are also mentioned in the "Status Report" where they for instance may be listed as "calm" or "(probably) not in space". Dolphins and fish are later also mentioned there, commenting about the whales. The reference to whales comes partly from the fact that Philae brings along three harpoons, which on Earth have mainly been used to hunt whales; Randall previously brought up that comparison in [[1402: Harpoons]], suggesting that Philae was programmed to believe it was sent to kill the comet. | |
− | + | This could also be a reference to the scene described in {{w|Douglas Adams}}' ''{{w|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy}}'' which begins: ''Another thing that got forgotten was the fact that against all probability a sperm whale had suddenly been called into existence several miles above the surface of an alien planet.'' [http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/198068-another-thing-that-got-forgotten-was-the-fact-that-against The passage] discusses thoughts of a whale as it makes the inevitable journey to the planet surface. Another reason to believe there are references to these books is, that in another one of them, all the Dolphins leave Earth (before it is destroyed) and their last message to us humans is: ''{{w|So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish}}'' - which is the title of the fourth book in the series. | |
− | + | Shortly after release from Rosetta, Philae calls out 'Spaaaaaaaaaace'; this mimics the {{w|Portal 2}} 'Space core' who, on finally reaching space in the last scenes, gives the same elated cry. | |
− | + | The comic title was originally "???" (probably to not give away too early what the comic was about), but changed to "Landing" after Philae had it's first touchdown (although it then took some time before it was clear if it stayed on the surface). Had the landing failed the title would probably have been something else - ''Crashing'' for instance. | |
− | + | Also the title text changed from "..." to "[LIVE]" part of the way through (somewhere around 5:00 in the morning EST, maybe at the same time as the timestamp's timezone switch). At 5:00 AM (EST) the timestamp in the image naming scheme switched from EST to {{w|Coordinated Universal Time|UTC}} as used in ESA's time keeping, resulting in a jump from [[Media:???53.png|04:55]] to [[Media:???54.png|10:00]] without actually any such delay between the two pictures. There were however a few pictures with more than 5 minutes of delay (about 12 times five minutes without an update in total). The update seems to have stopped after 142 pictures at 17:15 UTC, 12 hours and 15 minutes after the first picture. | |
− | + | According to [http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-30026398 BBC News], the harpoons did not fire as planned and the lander may have landed, bounced off, and landed again. This would explain the change in "Do harpoons work on comets" from "YES" to "Don't know" at 16:35:00 and the change in "Have we landed on a comet?" from "YES" to "Yes, at least once" at 16:50:00. According to [http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/13/science/space/european-space-agencys-spacecraft-lands-on-comets-surface.html?_r=0 The New York Times], radio contact with Philae fluctuated, which would explain the "Anxious", "Nervous", and "Confused" statuses around that time. | |
− | + | US Scientists presumably wake up at 7:40 EST (13:40 UTC) and say "Bluuurghhh. What time is it?" to indicate their tiredness. | |
− | + | There appears to be a brief error between 02:35 and 02:45, where the time until lander separation is shown as 1 hour, counting down to 50 minutes, before being corrected to 75 minutes at 02:50. | |
