ago thatarly 10 years the rosetta spacecraft was launched. you need patience to be a space scientist because only now is the trek approaching its key phase. this extraordinary mission with the rosetta spacecraft will try something incredibly daring. it is powered by solar panels, and as large as they are, each 14 meters long, and with it being so far away, the sun's rays are far weaker than we are used to. rosetta's journey has seen it and loop from earth past mars, using gravity to ,peed up on a series of orbits all the time accelerating so it , itsatch up with the comet destination. this is taken rosetta out jupiter, but it is now circling back in, gaining on the , itt, and if all goes well will close in for the first ever on one of touchdown these bizarre objects. first, rosetta will orbit the comet, getting pictures and choosing a landing site. then it will release a small craft which will descend to the surface. comets are older than planets, so we may learn if they brought us water and the building blocks for life. time travele a capsul

if it works, rosetta's robotic sidekick will then land on the comet surface in november. in their soil, could be the origins of life. >> we hope to learn how life on earth came to be. and so, it's a completely unique opportunity to dig back into t past. >> reporter: rosetta is now wide awake, and hoping its comet rendezvous will make history. clayton sandell, abc news, denver. >> go, rosetta. >>> and we have word tonight that 50 million of us watched the 2 championship football games yesterday. 50 million. seahawks/broncos, on their way to the super bowl. and for quarterback peyton manning, a real triumph after neck surgery. you can still see the scar running down the back of his neck right there. and coaches worried he would never play again. abc's ryan smith, now, says, last night, he showed us how wrong they were. >> reporter: a triumphant day for peyton manning and the denver broncos. not just for the win against tom brady's new england patriots. but grace under pressure. like this -- a bad snap, a bobble. turns into another lacer beam pass from the four-time mvp, jus
