Well Rosetta isn't going to get to 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (Chury) till 2014, but it's not to early to set up a thread. There are a bunch of earth fly-bys, a Mars encounter at 200km in 2007 and a few asteriod passes. Not to mention the mission to land on the comet itself.
Only another nine and a half years to go. |

Rosetta will be soon exactly 10,000,000 miles away from Mars at 2007-Feb-04 05:26:33 UTC.
The spacecraft is currently going almost directly toward Mars with a speed of about 20560 mph. |
