Thought some of you might enjoy this. An article and photos posted early this morning as the ESA probe Rosetta successfully made its rendezvous with the comet 67P at a brisk speed of about 55,000 kph. Took ten years and a lot of planning to get there.

Its currently about 100km distant, matching speed and course, but its going to get a lot closer and the plan is to eventually land on the comet itself.
Makes you appreciate just how simple space travel in Traveller really is compared to real world technology.
