Urbane_Guerrilla: Any further developments from the lander itself would only have a chance in August 2015. Rosetta will continue to orbit 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
Mihofan: Yeah, but I heard Philae didn't have any thrust at the end, it's harpoon didn't fire, and it's batteries died early so it went to sleep before it was finished. AND he uploaded pics to the internet. This why comets as old as the solar system shouldn't do this with 10 year olds.

So after 10 years of cruising in space, the thing is apparently going to shoot it's wad and then die. Like some insects.
