We'll smash probe into comet 300 million miles away for kicks, er, sorry, ... for science

High speed smash?

I was thinking the landing would be at low speed but then spotted that it is orbiting the comet and is not geostationary so whilst the vertical seep may be negligible the horizontal speed is probably high and it will crash into a mountainside at its orbiting speed
