The new hooded jacket and long hair certainly gives him the "renegade" look they're going for.

ESA Searching For Signs of (Robotic) Life on Comet

The European Space Agency thinks there may still be life to its Philae lander, now currently hurtling through the vastness of space on the back of a comet.

Its lander came to rest in a shady area of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on November 12 of last year. This proved problematic for a probe whose primary source of energy is the sun.
