With that low of gravity, would you feel different 'pulls' depending on how tall you are, or how high something is being held from the surface? Like if you drop a wrench from knee high, would it be more likely to fall to the surface rather than a wrench dropped from shoulder height?

With the microgravity that exists on that comet, you could launch yourself into orbit with one hand. No space buggy industry there.
That's why the lander has to anchor itself with a couple of harpoons. Otherwise it might just bounce right off.
I'd get vertigo standing just about anywhere on that comet. Puke in a space helmet is not a good thing.

What an amazing shot! Who ever thought that comets would have dunes? I see a whole new source of potential funding for future missions - "Cruise the sandunes of 67P in your space buggy!"
