Alex covers the Rosetta mission and the landing of the Philae robot lander on comet 67P. He covers the mission, the after-math issues with the Philae lander.

Later, he talks about the general use of the term "scientist", the difficulty of space travel, and his opinion on allowing robots to go first - then humans.
