A comet hurtling through space at 55,000 km per hour (34,000 mph) is the soon to be destination for the Rosetta spacecraft probe, which enters orbit around it in a few hours time. If everything goes to plan it's hoped that the next year will answer many questions about the emergence of life on Earth.

    Yes, impressive, but another probe did soft land on an Asteroid some time ago.

    It wasn't designed to land, but it was running out of fuel, so they thought what the hell!

    I know that it isn't a comet, but the next best thing!
