130+### Updating your comet
131+
132+The Urbit binary comes with a somewhat recent release of the Urbit OS, but ships can update automatically ("over the air"), so new binaries aren't necessary every time it's updated. Planets have automatic updates enabled by default, but this is not the case for comets. Many comets are used only once and thrown away, so it would be wasteful to update every single comet as soon as it boots. If you plan to use your comet for more than a quick test, you'll probably want to ensure you're running the latest version of the OS.

134+You can enable updates for your comet by typing `|ota (sein:title our now our) %kids` into Dojo and pressing Enter.
