TOUCHDOWN WITH SIGNALS! NEAR
Shoemaker has become the first spacecraft to land on
the surface of an asteroid, and officials report they
are still detecting signals that indicate the car-sized
craft is still alive!

NASA had said there was less a one-percent chance
of contacting the probe upon landing.

NEAR tulelte a landolast!
