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. |

Ted, why to complicate your life using Km in space and Miles on Earth?
I have impression that the only way to convince all to use the same unit system is... to create a new one! I know, is a madness... anyway, what do you think of the space covered by light in a billionth of sec? (hey, you should like it, is pretty close to a foot!). Then use all power of 10 units (metric is better from this standpoint, no doubt). Even better, we could divide the day in 10^5 "seconds" and we will have such a lenght unit equal to 259mm or about 10 inch)... ok, stop the metric madness!
