Space Post - Hayabusa 2

[Neil]

So we have Rosetta (hopefully) landing on a comet in a few months, and we also have the soon to be launched (Japanese) Hayabusa 2 destined to rendezvous with an asteriod in 2018 where it will send a rover down to it and also return samples back to earth too!

I find this comet chasing stuff really exciting...we've done most of the near planets or moons in our solar system in one way or another, but moving onto comets feels like a "2nd phase" somehow.
