I can never tell the scale of these craft with the pics they take. This thing is the size of a shoe. The last Mars lander looked like the size of a breadbox, but the thing was like SUV sized.

It had to be very light to land on a comet, pretty sure comets are some sort of space fireball

The next one is going to be like a boxcar based on the trend. Look out red planet!

I'm sorry, what? I only deal in international washing machines.

Could you measure it in Football Fields, or perhaps Imperial Star Destroyers?

We don't have a measurement in couch length for any of the landers yet but a team is working on it :)
