The Fall Itself Wasn't So Bad
It's just the sudden stop at the end.
Yesterday, NASA's Deep Impact probe smashed a lander into comet Tempel 1, driving a device (the "impactor") into the comet's nucleus to determine what's there.
NASA has released an incredible movie from a probe's-eye view as the impactor approaches the comet and slams into it (culled from various pictures).
