Written to tell the story of the Rosetta and Philae spacecraft and their mission to the comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko.

I followed the mission for years and I have such an incredible admiration and respect for the Rosetta and Philae teams, and everyone at ESA. When I heard the spacecraft was going to be landing on the comet forever, it seemed so epic, beautiful, sad, happy, incredible, etc..

The piece itself starts with a kind of sped-up timeline of events including launch, flight, the majesty of space and the comet upon approach, and jumps right into the final descent to the comet surface. 

Thank you everyone at ESA for striving to achieve greatness. Thank you Rosetta for the hope and inspiration you gave me - I hope this piece of music can accompany you down to the comet.
