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. |

Here is a nice self-portrait of the back of one of rosetta's solar pannels taken by one of the 6 micro cameras on the Philae lander. Looks like the pictures of the surface from the lander are gonna be sweet.
