The victory in space was eclipsed by a stylish shirt

Many remember the "well-known" movie "Armagedon" with Bruce Willis in a leading role. Movie plot heroically comedy. Several oil industry workers fly to an asteroid, drill in it a hole and take away it from Earth, before it to them the drunk Russian astronaut in a cap with ear-flaps on the Mir station helps to fuel. However the smile disappears and the grief for our astronautics, after the embodiment of this plot of the movie in reality appears.

The European Rosette space probe, after 10 years of a pursuit of a comet 67P/Churyumova-Gerasimenko, achieved the objectives and lowered the special Philae module on its surface. Expedition purpose especially scientific. Scientists want to prove that water on the earth was brought by comets.  

This event created a scandal in scientific community, it was even tried to be equated to Gagarin's flight and disembarkation of Americans to the moon (fact which is now challenged). Concerning this event even the beautiful film about the wizard and his schoolgirl was shot.

But all joy of success of ten years' work was crossed out by one of its direct performers Matt Taylor. The scientist came to a briefing with journalists in a stylish shirt with half-naked girls. The European public immediately forgot about the victory in space and began to discuss Taylor's shirt. The guy even had to apologize in the eyes with tears for the immoral act.

Now the Phil module is deenergized and waits for approach of a comet to the sun for recharge. If everything goes in the normal mode, then the module will begin to transfer desired information in several months. Can by then, passions on a shirt of the excentric scientist will settle.
