The Rosetta Mission meme stems from the 2014 European Space Agency mission that successfully landed the Philae probe on Comet 67P. While a monumental scientific feat, the internet latched onto various aspects of the mission, including the dramatic tension of the probe losing power in a shaded crater after bouncing upon landing. The meme is typically used to represent ambitious projects that encounter unexpected, often ironic hurdles, or to satirize the contrast between high-level technical intelligence and simple, unpredictable complications. It remains a staple for the science and space community to illustrate the highs and lows of complex endeavors.
