Re: Kind of reminds me of a couple of rovers who could (and one still can).
If the rovers had arrived with their wheels broken maybe I'd concede the point. The rovers wore out during the mission, while working hard. This poor little lander's comet acquisition and snaffling machinery broke down en route.
And now they can't even figure out if the screw piton legs have worked or whether the lander simply bounced until it got fouled in the comet.
Make them give back their grant money, I say.
