The deception of D-Day originally worked very well, however, post June 6th the Germans knew PRIMARY SOURCE 1 exactly…

When I looked up about this spacecraft in Wikipedia I was highly disappointed by the amount of specification provided for the design and construction of this spacecraft. Furthermore, this incredible achievement of landing a probe on a comet has been a subject of hot topic in the media so I thought many people…
