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. |

I noticed that in your blog and was duly delighted. He will have plenty of company!

Is a long extended mission a possibility for Rosetta?
http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/db_shm?sst...p;search=Search seems to indicate that the target comet will make a distant Jupiter pass around 2017/2018 |
