NASA may have had a lot of it's funding cut in recent years, but that doesn't mean that research into space has stopped. The European Space Agency Rosetta Mission has just landed a spacecraft on a comet. This is the first time in history it's been done. It'll allow scientists to study comets like never before and gain insight about how they might have helped to shape Earth.
