Philae's Release

+++ The signal for Philae's release is given. All systems look clear. We'll know if it worked in about 30 miin. That's the time the signal needs from Tschuri to earth, because of the big distance. +++

Goal of the Mission

+++ The CoD has long been postulated the "origin from afar". So it is very likely that the building blocks of life " piggyback " on comets are traveling in an inactive form and collide at a random time with solids that means planets, moons and larger asteroids in the course of millions of years and merge. Since the young Earth was still very hot due to the enormous forces that acted on them, the water could only recondensing in liquid form and after formation of an atmosphere in the course of millions of years. If it behaves so, this represents a potentially infinite variety of life spread across billions of galaxies and universes. Do not rule out that mikrobes life or such in the type of corals may be found also in krista liner form. Thus, you can witness a historic event, the first step to answering the question: "Where do we come from?". The CoD expected other key findings in view of the nature of comets, as this is important for our project "Deep Defence Shield". +++
