Submission + - Philae landed three times and is still not anchored to Rosetta. 3

Thanshin writes: A failure with the small thruster that should have counteracted the recoil of the harpoons, was followed by a failure with the harpoons themselves. Finally Philae performed 3 landings,15:33, 17:26 & 17:33 UTC.

We're receiving the first pictures of Rosetta from the surface but Philae seems to not be anchored at this moment.

fuck this high tech solution bullshit, just fucking arm the teachers with a "If you're not meant to be here you WILL GET SHOT" policy.

Have we suddenly switched to discussing prisons or we are still talking about schools - you know, place full of kids who will happily do whatever you are forbidding them to do.

Operation was performed in Poland by team led by Dr Tabakow. Professor Raisman developed his method enough to perform test on rats.From TFA: "In 2005, Prof Raisman was approached by a Polish neurosurgeon who had begun researching how to apply the technique in humans. Dr Tabakow carried out an initial trial involving three paralysed patients who each had a small amount of OECs injected in their damaged spinal cords."

USA is on another damn continent - why the hell should they care? Russia was in league with Hitler and one of the aggressors since 17th of September 1939r, so why would the go against their "friends"? They turned against Germany only when Hitler decided that shared ownership of Europe is not good enough. There is very good reason to blame France and UK - since 01.09.1939 most of German army was tied down in Poland and only token forces were defending from west. France and UK had golden opportunity to crush Nazis quickly and with minimal losses. Well, they paid dearly for their cowardice in the end.
