Concerns lander may have bounced off comet
Scientists at the European Space Agency say they have concerns over the fate of the Philae Lander.
As the anchors did not fire they cannot say "with 100% certainty that we are on the comet and are staying there." They are observing the movement of the lander to confirm it is stationary on the comet rather than "still in movement."
